Ride while you can!

I noticed that Beamer was feeling pretty good today, he was playing around and frolicking in his pen. I took the opportunity to grab a few  well maybe 30 photos,( I deleted a lot, honestly!)

I was struck by the similarities between daddy and sons.

The sun came out in strength today- of course that always means mud as the ground thaws, but I figured I'd take advantage and go for a little ride on Beamer, the dogs have been cooped up a lot lately too so they needed some exercise. I had to leave Reba at home which really ticked her off, but she isn't in shape to come along.

You can see the snow line about halfway down the mountain. Sure glad we aren't getting the weather they had in Buffalo! But I'm sure we will get our snow in due time. I want to ride as much as possible before winter hits hard.

Looking back towards the town- this is part of the farm I live on, and those are some of the landlord's cows.

When I got back, I was loathe to dismount, so I let Reba out of the kennel and rode around the yard so she wouldn't feel too left out, poor girl! I decided to do some schooling on Beamer- and boy did he get a pout on! What? Sidepass? Are you crazy, lady? The ride is over, we're back!  Haha sorry Beamer but you have to work a little! Oh he was bad. Flat out refusing to sidepass. I worked him through it, but he was not too happy with me! Sheesh, a simple sidepass and he had to make an issue of it. Must be a union worker.

All the same, it was great to be back in the saddle on my boy,nothing beats the view between those little black ears.
