Soggy out there!

We had a pretty good rain this morning & it was warming up pretty nice. I knew it would be really muddy out there, but saddled up Bling any way.

So glad I did! What a really nice ride today! Bling behaved really well, going out on her own. Navigated through the remaining drifts like a pro!

Water everywhere, she even stopped to take a few sips here & there!

Came across a couple big dogs, probably dumped off... They were more scared of us & took off the other direction. Another dog, a German Shepard, luckily got called back into the yard before he could get up too close & personal... I almost bailed, but didn't have to. :)

Tomorrow I will be loading up TAZ, picking up my friend Joni who will be bringing her Mule, Josie. We will head out to Brownville, NE to meet up with Shannon & Amelia to ride a 10 mile loop out that way. Suppose to be decent weather wise.

6 miles, muddy, 45 degrees

Warm & Breezy!

Took Bling out for a ride around the pasture. It was a little windy, not bad, but she was on HIGH ALERT about every little thing. We rode around for 30 minutes then I unsaddled her & took her for a short walk down the road to show her that I wouldn't let anything 'get' her...

The auto shop, across the street, had their big door closed but you could hear the 'buzz & burn' from some one welding on something. The wind also blew on some sheet metal on a shed... all the little boogers out there!

I will take her out everyday and get her re introduced with the world again... sigh...
