Foolin' Around on a Sunday

We spent a little quality family time today

in the round pen

I'm working on switching Mercy to 

my personal favorite horse Monte

First she has to learn to ride him

in a controlled environment

She did very very well

Great stops, turns and backing

Monte, bless his heart

is such a laid back animal

been there done that 100 times

He's older now

seasoned

and got a good handle on him

After much clucking and flapping of the legs

she managed to get him to trot

ok - a very slow jog

She was so proud of herself

Daddy came out 

since it's his one day off

and they played follow the leader

sans tack

Eventually I got my horse back

Nee Nee and I did

Yeah

the dogs ride too

you betcha

After that I got my horse nekkid

and practiced some balance exercises

and whoa

Go ahead and see for yourself

and do ignore the mud hole in this pen

someday I'll quit leaving the hose running

Wade's personal horse Olga

she is some kinda horse

Could she say any clearer

"RIDE ME" ?

Geez

That's ridiculous!

I gotta teach Monte that
