Back In My Own Saddle

Well this post started out being called Shirley and Beamer but the video's just will not upload and I have no clue what to do about it. So I decided to do a post on something to do with my own horses. It was right after being at Shirley's that I managed to get a ride in at home. It was a short one but ya gotta start some where. I didn't make them do much and they were puffing and sounding like they had worked hard all day. It is going to be a slow process to get these horses back in shape, between not being used all winter and the Super Bug they all had....well I'm sure most of you know how hard it's going to be. The next pic shows just a little of how hairy and dirty these horses are, we are no where near bathing weather....but it's coming.

Mattie all ready to go. Jade was just on a lead . I haven't been on her since January but now that the weather is nicer we will be going back to the basics ( which is exactly where we were anyhow) I am looking forward to working with Jade she is so smooth. It was kind of good that the arena was mucky and had a nice big puddle at the end. Jade has never been through water so it was a good introduction for her.

It's kind of far away, what can I say my camera man is about as good as I am with a camera.

Done for the day both girls were well behaved, turn em loose watch em roll and on to other stuff....like Greenhouse stuff.
I have got to get these horses finished and user friendly, it was sure nice to feel like I was back on track and it felt really good to be back in my own saddle.
