Thanks for swinging by my place. Well,...Hey Kacy! Thanks for swinging by my place. Well, my love of horses....let's see where do I begin? I started riding at 13 and have loved horses all my life. Ask my mom...the collection of horses I had when I was young was too big for our house. LOL! Unfortunately life got a hold of me and I stopped riding until this Spring. My girlfriend Debbie, who I ride with (she has two horses she needs taking out) said I hopped back on like I had never stopped riding. My connection with horses, I believe, is so natural. Well, I should say animals in general. I am an animal lover through and through! Right now I'm just riding western. My niece, at the ripe old age of 10, has just started riding English. I'm so proud of her! Anyway, we pretty much just trail ride. I've only ridden one horse, Deb's horse Ari who is a 13 year old Apaloosa/Arabian. I love him so much! We connect so well. Tomorrow I am going to meet Debbie's instructor to see about lessons. I'm excited about that! What trails do you tpically ride? Debbie and I go to either Mission Park, McGyver or Hardy Creek. Would love to meet you sometime if you're up for it! And I'd love to meet your beautiful horse! Mustang? Hope you're having a great weekend in this wonderful weather!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072573764510139884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-58770948578847174572009-05-29T18:41:29.517-07:002009-05-29T18:41:29.517-07:00Kacy, great post love the pictures!

I have been trying and trying to bring up your blog without any success for a couple of weeks!! And then, I could bring it up, but could not comment. Grrr!! So frustrating!! But today after a couple of trys, here I am. Thanks for the visit. Good to hear from you again. I have been riding the boys and it feels wonderful!!

Maddy crossed her legs a few times because she did get dizzy...<br />Do come with us sometime or get your own group together..I will go with you all and show you the places to ride! There are calm dune rides separate from the surf..and even so, when it is low tide..tons of sand apart from the watery places.<br /><br />Flying L Yea...my mare tends to want to be in front or make the one in front speed up..she has a killer walkout..but is disrespectful in her bumping..I like a horse in front that takes no fussing..it reminds her without me pulling her back.<br /><br />Lori I'm sorry dear..I am afraid the torture may continues a bit longer though...I am addicted to the surf riding...I can't make it to Africa, to ride with Esther with the mare, so this is the sand I can have around here!<br /><br />Jacks grl I realise that caution is best no matter what status you are finacially so! This galloping on the beach is a one at a time event..the mare must be confident and the tide must be out and all the stars alined.."~' we want smooth riding and no shying! We walk out area first to make sure of footing and weido thinkgs that tend to wash up or even strange looking driftwood pieces can make us stop too quickly sometimes. <br /><br />Gray Thanks...can't wait to see me in some for a change!<br /><br />Lisa Hi sweetie...need to come on by an catch up!! Thanks, the header is a photo of a photo that Jules took of us... when I get the original, I will change it over..will look cleaner..will have a good wkend..gotta work and do the horse..PBO gone with her steeds to beach now..Wa will be lonely<br /><br />Rae HIYA!! I am sooo sorry that your meds have toyed with you and it has taken you out some..ick honey...sent you a txt...and will call today.<br />I thinnk if you spend tons of time on the gournd and some time in an enclosed area chaecking in with your steed with laterals and transitins for communication..you will feel much better about it..don't take a long ride or you'll be too sore!<br />KKKacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-73936689678673201192009-05-29T05:57:36.135-07:002009-05-29T05:57:36.135-07:00WOW!

I bet y...Kac--Yes the beach does sound like heaven! I bet you ARE lovin' it! My only fear with beach riding would be not being able to LET GO of my fear and just let Jacks goooo. After breaking my shoulder, fear issues became huge (and humbling) in a big part b/c I am a single mom so if I'm not able to work for an extended period due to an injury from a passion of mine--well, let's just say that would be REALLY bad. Like bills not getting paid bad!!! So it is both a logical and also very much a primitive /protective fear. A weird humbling thing from the girl who never had fear with horses. PROBABLY much needed tho', and it is becoming a healthy needed fear that rooted in mutual respect b/t us both. He doesn't get away with any cr**, and I don't try to do more than I am capable of! Jacks is SOOOOO fast, I am becoming more and more used to having such a fast horse! Thank GOD he is responsive and has a mind like a sponge. A characteristic of his breed is that he learns FAST!! We went out on a trailride with a new friend the other day and we had to go back down to a walk for HER three times!!!! I just wanted to MOVE OUT!! That was not the me of even 6 months ago, and I'm in better shape now too. Of course, I was totally understanding of slowing down for another rider, I just got an inward (delighted!) chuckle that that rider isn't me anymore! My peeps have been SUCH a BLESSING and have helped Jacks and I enormously with my confidence and with his training! So, give me 6 more months and I'll be ready for the beach gallop Kac!! :)<br />--Mindyjacksonsgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702324347419665816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-91149571666673502382009-05-29T02:31:07.334-07:002009-05-29T02:31:07.334-07:00Excellent photos Kacy!

And new ones too! I do wish that we lived closer, as I know we would have a blast out there, but oh well, right??? LOL!!!<br /><br />And lastly, Maddy's hiney does look like a Monarch butterfly!! And more beach riding?? I am so jealous. How far away is the ocean/beach from you?
