She strides right out, no funny business. Gussie didn't like it when Mesa had to go right behind her on a narrow spot, but overall it was a really good ride.
Shayla saddled up Sassy, who hasn't been ridden since October, and is due to foal in 4 months; she did great too!
The next day we took Rose and Gussie out for a ride, nothing too remarkable but we did get to do some long trotting in the snow, accompanied by the ever faithful and energetic Goose.
Although we don't have a lot of variety of places to go, as you can tell by my photos, we do have a lot of fun just getting out and enjoying the peaceful scenery.
The other day all the horses were alerting to something in the bush, and as we rode through we spotted moose tracks.
We took Drifter into the barn the other day, just playing around with him, and let him have a visit with Beamer, much to Beamer's delight. I should have videoed it, they had quite a conversation, and Drifter was enjoying it as much as Beamer.
He's so cute! And such a good boy.
Today is the day that Mesa will receive a visit from the young lady who is interested in her for a reining prospect. Stay tuned!
Riding day 12 & 13

Nice photo of Drifter. I may have asked this before, but doesn't riding in the snow get slickery? Looks so pretty, glad you are getting out and about so often.
The snow is soft and only gets slippery where it is packed down, melts, then freezes again. It's actually pretty good footing.
lovely! Drifter sure is a cute lil guy! I love how intent Beamer looks!
Your scenery is spectacular for sure!
Good to know! Someday I hope to try riding in the snow. It always seems so slippery around here. We tend to have constant changing weather, snow, warmer weather, snow etc...typical WI.
