OUR EXTREME DREAM

     After a busy week full of school related stuff (grading, swim meet, softball game, play...), I finally got some "me" time with the horses.  Erik took Cory to the racetrack with him, so I was able to have fun and not worry about anybody but me.  YEEHAW!

     Chele and I met up with KD and her two friends, Karen and Martha, at the Ravines in Middleburg.  We had a blast.  The weather was perfect, and there were no bugs.  I rode Ranger again.  He is getting much better about standing still while mounting.  We worked more on leading, following, and in the middle.  We also worked a little on trot and canter.  He does have a little buck in him, but it's NOTHING compared to Faith. OMG, if that's all he's got, he needs to give it up.  After the ride, we enjoyed a cold brew and some snacks. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

     We watched this boat go by.  It always rattles the horses as the wake makes it to shore.
