Beautiful October Morning with Domino Lucky me!

Pedro was talking to me on the way out, sayin Hi!

I love this picture today.  While Sheila has Tori take my pic the other horses, Shawnee, Hershey wait to get their turn.  Usually I am waiting to its cool to see Domino get his turn next.
The man on the ride said he didnt want to ride Domino.  He said, "I dont want to ride THAT horse". I thought, great this is my chance. As I was trying to get on, I couldnt reach over his body. He's huge. the ride was a walk because there was a lady who felt worried about trotting. Her friend the man was disappointed that we didnt trot. I may have thought so too, but I loved the ride it was beautiuful. Im going to put some pictures up later tonight. :) Great Times!
Sheila thought the guy was pushy. We didnt end up trotting they are so short handed.  I believe there has been a lot of changes. Jess and Bob had some problems they didnt work out yet.  So Sheila has been blue. There was Sheila and Cassie. They were so busy. There was a truck stuck in the entranceway so I was late for the 9am. It was too full anyway.  This ride was only six of us. It was a nice ride, even though we didnt trot. I didnt get in for the 9am so I hung out took some pictures and went and got some apples, peaches and honey from Nagog Farm.  It was perfect timing.
There was a woman who seemed to know a little about the farm and three spanish speaking people 2 women and one man.  The woman and the daughter made me laugh.  She wasnt that familiar with the horses I could tell because she got out of line often and seem to bunch up on the trail.  The funny thing is that she said to Sheila, If you want I can take them on the slow ride so you could go on the trot ride. I thought that she was overestimating herself. She was terrible with Hershey controlling him.  She would have done a terrible job.  The man who didnt get to trot was disappointed but he really made Sheila angry when he didnt want Domino for the ride. Lucky for me. :)

Wet and Rainy, Duchess was so patient

Today I took a ride at 2pm.  There were a few riders but when loaded it was quite a few.  Im glad because even on damp days we need to get cash for hay and feed or the winter.  Sheila met me at the office with some crappy news, Jess had quit that week.  Too much picking on her from Bobby.  I think it will all work out but, I was worried. There was a girl that isnt very experienced with the rides (in my opinion) a new girl, Tori and Cassie.
Anyway I was loaded first on the first horse ready . . . Duchess!
She is so beautiful.  She got a little made at Domino trying to pass. The man on Domino was a jerk. Just saying. He spoke to Domino and tried to get him to listen in human to "dont eat the grass".  Well anyway there was alittle girl who had gone riding for the first time on the trail she loved it so much while we were loading, She was getting off and she said Daddy can we go again. Sure enough they went on the second ride.
My ride was ok but my horse kicked butt. She was so on the money. I had never realized just how nice she handled neck reining until a sweet little girl behind me who had told me she was taking lessons for the last year and that she was able to ride 8 horses. I was pretty impressed with her knowledge of the horses.
Well the ride lacked coordinated guides. I miss Enja and Sarah for make sure that the trots made sense. I hadnt seen Cathy in a long while either. I wonder what was going on.
Without Jess and even Amanda things can get too much for the group. I had heard that Kanti was helping out by taking rides with the girls.
Duchess's ride was beautiful and she is very responsive. I would like to ride her again soon.  She is also beautiful. Ill get some pictures from today up soon.  Im putting this one of her pretty face from earlier this summer.  :)
Oh the lead with us I dont know her name but she was nice.  She was riding Datania.  She has a short tail but had a nice ride.  The girl needed extra help on the ride.

Belle again she has a sweet face and looks right at you with her eyes.

Thanks Duchess!

Blue is so hungry!
