Horses...


<-- That's me on Jazz


Yesterday was just to beautiful of a winters day to stay inside and craft! (That sounds strange huh?)
So instead, I cleaned the outdoor animals cages, that finally thawed out for a moment in the 40 degree sunshine.... and then we decided to go and visit our awesome pet sitter. We arrived just as she was going out to her back yard to work with her horses. We ended up all taking turns riding "Jazz" around her back yard! I had never been a horse with out a saddle before - what a great thing to feel the warmth of a big fuzzy horse, you can feel them breath without the saddle between you. (sometimes days dreams come true....)

The visit ended with a steaming cup of Chai tea.... and me smiling all over. (except when i learned that the pups had eaten the 4th set of knobs off the radio in the van, while we were gone. GGGrrrrrr. )
That's Muddy -->

  4. I love riding bareback! It makes me nervous though on a taller horse. My friend has a nice round one that's like sitting on a barrel. lol Makes it easier to hang on.

    My horse dream is to ride on the beach. That would be so awesome. Glad you had a nice day!

  5. I rode on the beach once... right along the edge of the water, it was scary - i could feel the horse sliding sideways when the wave went out and sucked the sand and the horse with me on it with it!!! But safe on dry land was great!!!

  6. Ahhh, those were the days! Riding a horse without a saddle is wonderful. You can feel every movement of those strong muscles and believe you and the horse are completely 'in tune' with one another. Unfortunately, these days, if I rode without a saddle my legs would be screaming at me for the next three days afterwards and I would definitely be walking kinda funny!!!

  7. I was moving so slow, i didn't even need to hang on... so there was no leg screaming! (or any screaming for that matter!) ha ha :)
