Abandon(ship) Horse

I knew it was going to be a doosey for rain and wind today...but the "Intrepid Riders" will not be hindered from the trails! This is what it looked like driving in.........

Soggy Doggy! A cutie dog owned by my field neighbor w/ two horses

.


















SOGGY HORSEY!

Other soggy horses that are in a field behind my Trailer AKA -outdoor tack room.



We got a little ahead of our trailriding friend and were too early, and waited outside under this tree with these horses.....but...ended up untacking and I returned her to the Run in Stall to dry out with the cooler on.

My mare rain soaked but now happily eating her snack, to keep warm. Her longer mane with out the Kinky curls of the braids.

We decided that the 45 minute outdoor wait to go riding was too long and too cold... and only after -the mare and I went down to the trail head and she had the The Biggest Freak Out since I have been riding her...I think someone relocated the Loch Ness Monster into the small pond on the property I was attempting to ride by.

I almost couldn't stop her from running all the way back up to the barn! I did manage to contain her to a beautiful Piaffe...but only going towards the stable! She really acted as though some Yeti was awaiting her if I tried to turn her around.

The only thing worse, as my husband says, (he's sitting right here watching me name all the Monsters I can think of), would be if "Jake the Alligator man" showed himself on the shoreline of the pond! ( Okay...for those of you that don't realise how hard you can laugh it up over someting kinda silly...PLEASE do click on JAKE"S NAME above)

It was all fear and it did not appear to be bad behaviour because of the Crap weather. I went with her on this one because..I was cold too!

Steaming horse sauna!

She is Happy to be undercover!!

I put a brand New medium weight Blanket on her tonight...the other was too wet .

I am Happy to be here typing in the warm, awaiting my burger and Onion Rings from Mikes...just up the road.

Tomorrow is another day...and it will be a muddy mess ...We are diving in!More on that later.
