FRIDAY FUN OMG

He is the best at trotting like a hunk

My favorite Alyssa came out and took pictures the other day. She was going to ride another horse, but Courage was already tacked up and they get along famously.

I really need to do a full write up. GUYS I HAVE SO MANY PRETTY PICTURES I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Let's just agree that Courage is in a really cool place, training-wise and I will write you a better wrap up soon. Like Monday.

Yup. Still best.

Anywho. As I said, Alyssa rode C-rage.

She has this totally awesome way of just riding freely forward without pulling and horses respond really well to it. Especially Courage. HE LOVES HER.

They were all w/t/c and jumping a baby grid and the little stink went better for her than he did for me, which I guess means I ought to work on some things.

Good friends don't stop you. They take pics.

And then we were hanging out in the middle of the arena waiting for Prisoner to finish up.

The little dude was all content and happy and mostly asleep and let's just agree that Alyssa is waaaaay braver and more balanced than me.

I so love that my horse can do this, even if I'm 100% sure I will never try it.

What I will try is entering Alyssa's sweet fly bonnet contest over at Four Mares, No Money. Custom bonnet! Fun piping! Easy entry! Closes today!!

Let the Good Times Roll

So much exciting pony news and only a little bit of it is mine.

I spent the whole weekend out of town playing at a horse show pretending to be a pro photog. And that's all that happened.

OH UNLESS YOU MEAN THAT ALYSSA AND BACON WERE ALL WHUPASS AT THEIR FIRST OUT OF TOWN SHOW.

So there was that. But yeah, I had oodles of fun crewing for them and totes took a bajillion (actual number) of pictures with her ridiculously fancy camera.

Babysitting ears

And then there's redheadlins' news, which is pretty freaking fantastic as well.

I got back from the clinic and hopped on my little man for the first time in 4 days. He babysat Prisoner for his first in-company arena ride and was a total champ. We even hacked though the fields on the buckle while P-man cantered around and all was well.

<3 my little bay horse.

So much Ogilvy goodness!

The only problem is that redheadlins let us use her Ogilvy baby pad.

WANT

That is all.

Well, that and the fact that I toasted my legs in the sun so badly that I can't put breeches on right now. Look for creative solutions until that situation resolves.
