Long trail ride at Baker's Creek with Loni. Loni is my endurance friend - she used to do a lot of endurance racing with her best friend. Then her friend got sick, and died :( So Loni's mares were on the backburner while her friend was sick, and since then she's had nobody to ride with. Today she brought out Velvet who is not a young mare, probably 10 or 11, but of course, her training under saddle coincided exactly with Loni's having to stop riding. She's very green in other words. So I took ButterKins McKinley. Who is also Very Green :o
They both did fine. Velvet is really into doing big flighty arab spooks, and Butter is really into doing stroppy little quarter pony sull-ups and refusals to go forward. Between the two of them we had Fun. Ahaha. No, they were fine, really. Loni's horses are also unshod and by the end, Vlevet was beginning to get a little sensitive to the terrain.
Ride Log : Came home and napped and then went to teach Pre-calculus, so everybody else got a day off.
