Well dad texted me asking me to stop at his house before I went home after work (we're neighbors LOL) so I said sure I wanted to ride that night anyway. So I stopped down, we visited for a bit, then I asked if he wanted to go for a quick ride with me. He said sure.. he hasn't been on the horses much at all since he had a triple bypass several years ago.
He said are we just gonna grab the bridles and go up to the pond where the horses are? I said no and yes.. we are grabbing the rope halters and going to the pond to ride bareback .. I'm such a smartass LOL.
We go up and catch Satin for me and Jake for him and just rode thru the pasture checking fences and such.. the other horses were feeling good and running around like lunatics around us but Jake and Satin are good ponies and behaved well.
After an hour or so dad was ready to dismount claiming he didn't want to be to sore at work tomorrow lol, Jake is a fat old boy so I can see that.
Sadly no pictures because I left my phone charging in the car but next time for sure!!
October 29
Josie and I loaded Jake and Satin up and headed to Stephens Forest for what turned out to be a beautiful day for riding. The forest looked so pretty with all the leaves falling, pine needles making beds under the pines and we saw several deer.
We even hit the challenging trails, if you can call them that LOL, all in all it was great.
Josie was cold.. Jake was sweaty.. that boy has gotten a wicked winter coat already!
One of my favorite veiws in the world.. everyone should enjoy it at least once!
They redid the big pond and are finally letting it fill back up.
Another angle of the big pond.
Adorable Josie under the big pines.
Under the big pines.. my fave spot the whole ride!
