Team 117 - Apple Treat


My name is Crystal, I love spending hours with my horses and riding for miles and miles....

We have 4 horses.  My gentle TB  lead mare Kitty Kate, Benjamin my daughter's horse (that I steal from her when she is in school) : )), my sweet Anglo-Arabian Luna and Baby Ozzie our 2 1/2 year old Arabian.


I enjoy competing or just camping and riding with friends.  Happy trails.

  90. Bummer on loosing your boot :-( What kind of boot?

    ReplyDelete
  91. I usually ride her in easyboot gloves, that I love and they stay on!
    But since I was just ponying her I got her in the Cavallo sports. They stayed on until the last mile. She was rushing herself down the trail in tall grass and she lost both boots in a matter of 1 min! Back tracked our steps and found one. Did not see the other. Might have been gone down the creek : ((
    Oh well we had a good ride anyway.

  97. Yep, Luna had all four off the ground when we passed by a toad in calling mode!!
    btw I found my lost boot!! yeah,: )) I knew she lost it close to the creek and when I rode over there 2 days ago I found it.
