The last couple of days are the first time in about a month that I was able to get out and ride. Today was Biz's turn. The monster mulching machine had just done the pipeline right-of-way just down from our place. I took Alpine down the trail two days ago, and she was awesome. There were a few things that she was cautious about, but we worked through those OK.
Biz had no trouble with this giant, horse-eating sample box. She went right up to it as if she saw these things every day. Alpine had to be talked by it both ways.
After the ride i hosed down both horses since they were both sweaty, Biz from riding and Alpine from running up and down our fence line. She doesn't like it when I "steal" her herd mate.
The look in the eye says that 1 1/2 hours was enough for an out of shape horse.
Biz was not co-operating for the photo shoot, so here is one more of Alpine.
alpine's looking a bit plump. :) some good grass, there!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great place to ride!

Glad you enjoyed the trails together.
What a great place to ride, whether or not the horses realize it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful horses - and I love the perspective between his ears - I almost felt like I was along for the ride (besides which, horse ears are kind of cute)
