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...

Yesterday's Ride

Burrrr! Cold yesterday, but still managed to ride Bling bareback around our yard & pasture. You can clearly see how Bling felt about it!

Here's a short clip of the ride in the yard.

...and another in the pasture...

This weekend's temps look like there will be a little bit of improvement, 30's!!

I'm not even going to entertain the idea of riding for the next couple days. Instead, I will work out down stairs on the treadmill. Walked 5 miles today.

sNOw!!!

The pictures say it all! Bling is such a 'Stall baby'. She's asking to go in!

This is her looking depressed.

When I don't give in, she resorts to pouting under the lean-to...

TAZ doesn't look pleased either!!!

Short But Sweet!

Today was Bling's first conditioning ride of 2010. We weren't out long & didn't go very far!

Today's riding was done along the shoulder of a very well paved road. Hubby drove along to be sure that drivers passed respectfully, as the ditches are filled full with snow... Fields are still drifted deep in snow.

These next clips were taken on our way back towards home. She naturally wanted to trot a bit faster, so my hands were bouncing all over the place to try & keep her at a pace I wanted her to go. She kept flipping her head some in protest. I'll need to work on that a bit more. :)

...We have some work to do! ;)
