Winter Riding

We were able to enjoy some winter riding this past week. With all of the construction projects going on around here I haven't spent time riding this fall, then rode three days this week alone. My legs can tell.

Of course when we were ready to go the horses were way out back so we just carried the bridles out and tacked up in the pasture.

We headed through the pasture and out the back gate.

Our destination was the corral to pick up the saddle that was left out there the other day.

The other day when "That Guy" came over to ride and the saddle was left out at the corral. I think it may have had something to do with the fact that it was purple:))

It made a good excuse anyway for us girls to go riding and pick it up.

At about this point we realized that the cat had followed us all the way out back.

If somebody hadn't broke yet another button (the zoom button) on my little Walmart special camera you could actually see the cat under Sassy. It just may be time for me to finally decide to spend some money on a camera.

Rather than make the cat walk all the way back home Grace asked Alexis to put her up with her to have a ride. We weren't so sure just how far she would make it.

That silly cat didn't mind a bit even through the trotting or cantering and rode all the way back home with us.

Then we put the horses away and told them they are the best horses in the whole wide world, because, well to us, they are.
