Not too exciting.... just the way I like it.
Took miss Delia over to the cows... ho hum..... saddled her up and did a bit of ground work. Josie was ripping around the pen, Beamer was calling, but she took it all in stride- one heads up look when Josie started galloping but after that she was back to plodding along. So I had Ted take the lead line and we went for a walkabout in the yard. Very nice, but you could see that she was unhappy with the bit- she has never had her teeth done- so I didn't ask a lot of her. Dentist is coming next month. Didn't get over to the indoor yesterday, had other things going on in the afternoon. Next week! Our session got interrupted with company so I didn't get a chance to go solo. Back in the day I would have had a bunch of rides all over the countryside by now, but I'm getting old and cautious. :0) I'm in no hurry either.

I bet that was a lovely ride! What a wonderful horse she is! Love those ears, and that glorious mane!
Very nice - she seems quite a sensible mare. No reason to rush things - one of the sayings I repeat to myself often is: "fast is slow, and slow is fast".
I think I really like her!
I know the feeling. I broke many horses when I was younger. Now I have none, but my parents bought a little POA for my mom. I always have to make a ride back in the spring so I can jump on her after a long winter. At 40 it seems like a fall, but my mom is a bit older so her fall would be worse. She looks like a nice little mare.
I think you done did good with this one!
