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.
Welcome, Crystal. Admiring the trail behind you -- where are your from?

Luna lost one of he boots: ((
Miles to date 708.28 miles
Bummer on loosing your boot :-( What kind of boot?
ReplyDeleteI usually ride her in easyboot gloves, that I love and they stay on!
ReplyDeleteBut 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.

Yup, if you are riding with a fellow DD rider with a GPS, it is always fine to use theirs too :-) Too funny about the toad :-)
ReplyDeleteYep, Luna had all four off the ground when we passed by a toad in calling mode!!
ReplyDeletebtw 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.
Now easyboot glove is the way to go! they stay on!
