Definitely Spring Again! Great Ride!



Wow, what a fun ride I had on Flyboy today! Four of us met and trailered over to the Long Ridge tank. After saddling up we headed toward Spring Canyon. We rode for three hours (walk and trot) and had rocks, hills, mud, puddles, deer, etc. to deal with. We climbed all the way up the mountain until we had a fabulous view of the next county. Flyboy was totally awesome the entire time. No spooks. No shenanigans. He was just an all-around good boy! I rode in the Bandos treeless trail saddle and both he and I were quite comfortable. He wore Easyboot Gloves on his front feet and handled the extremely rocky and muddy ground with no problems at all. This was the kind of thick black mud that really sticks and adds five pounds of weight to each hoof! Fly also drank from nearly every puddle and had a good drink when we returned to the water tank. He even volunteered to lead out a couple of times and trotted right on past Mikey. He is gaining confidence! Not much else to say---he just did great!

Good friends, good horses, good weather. Gotta love it!

Now that is a view!
