Jayne heads north

 Today was travelling day for Jayne. She's en route to Shayla to rejoin her herdmates Belle and Gussie and to meet a whole bunch of new friends. She will have so much more room there and the grazing that I don't have here is plentiful there. 


She's such a sweet mare and I sure am blessed to have owned this granddaughter of both Hollywood Dun It and Shining Spark- two of the most prolific sires of performance horses in modern quarter horse history. 


I figured Sophie would get a little wound up when Jayne left, and she did a lot of calling and ripping around. I put Beamer in the foaling pen (which borders Sophie's pen) for a few minutes to get her mind off Jayne, and also because I am going to be using Beamer to tease Sophie to find out if she is pregnant or open. 


Beamer thoroughly enjoyed that! And it definitely took Sophie's mind off Jayne being gone. 

I have made arrangements to haul to a local indoor arena on Wednesdays to get Sophie going. Finally..... back in the saddle!

She looked interested in Beamer. Not that I know anything about it.
Safe travels Sophie!

I agree with Teresa, she seemed a little flirty. Safe travels for Jayne and I look forward to your adventures in the saddle.

Aww, bye for now to Jayne. Hope she settles into her new home well.

Looking forward to reading about your saddle time with Sophie!
