Best Day Ever

TOO MUCH FUN!!! Today was a good day. :)

Seriously... Danny and Indi are ridiculous together. They are like long lost friends/brothers. We met up with Missy and Indi today at the lake. They beat us there so Indi was already in the lake when we got there. Dan was so excited and marched right in and they instantly start playing with each other. Lots of bitey face and grabbing ahold of each others bridles. Then they had splashing contests. They were hilarious. At one point, Dan was rubbing his head on Indi's butt and almost pushing him down. Then Indi kept trying to lay down and roll. He must have gone down about 12 times, but never did roll. Then Dan decided to go for a swim and went under water. I was up to my chin! When he came up, he had pulled his bridle off somehow. (I think the combination of no cheek piece, slippery ear bonnet, large crown piece, and oily fly spray...just makes it slide right off). I was trying to keep my phone dry and I had to hold it because all of my pockets were now soaking wet. And I had his crop (to beat bugs away).... and his ear bonnet was floating in the water... but at least his bridle was hanging around his neck. Hee hee. I managed to get his ear bonnet with my crop and then we rode out to the grass and I hopped off. I put his bridle back on and then we went back to splash some more. :) Then we went for a short trail ride where we ran into Elizabeth and Ash and Krista and Bowie so we all chatted and Indi and Danny went to playing again. Hee hee. Dan was so sad when I had to turn and leave. Poor guy. He seriously has so much fun with Indi. It was an awesome day!









 







Dan almost got his ear bonnet for me :)


Then I realized I put it on wrong so I was trying to fix his noseband. I had to get off. His dang neck is too long. ;)

Prayer warfare

I had a lovely ride today with Kimberly!

We prayed over Dan and for God to heal him :) We found a turtle friend. And Dan was so good with Mellow.

Feral Beast

So... the night of July 4th I was lasering Dan before the fireworks.. well before... 

Pulled a shoe.. didn't ride sun or tues because of that and rain... 

then finally got his fancy shoes, btu has a fat ankle because of a scrape

rode anyways... setting up for the show, so a little on edge.

cantered the first hill in the between damns area on little lake... then good... 

trotted in arena at end and felt sound (but also bareback)

hosed him off and let him graze and he ran away.. luckily only to the edge of the XC field

caroline said he was fat. a sausage!!!!

The Other Side

Dan and I had a good ride today. We beat the heat (mostly) and had a nice quiet relaxing ride. It was peaceful... we went to the part of Ashland that is magical... and healing. I mean, all of Ashland is lovely, but this part.. just feels very healing to me. I had a little meltdown Monday night. But... afterwards... it is well with my soul. Dan and I are going to make it to the other side. I'm trusting that God has my back.... and His timing is impeccable.

had a great ride. Got to ashland and they were working on the sound system so there were tractors everywhere and the speakers kept grunting. Danny was good though. Nice hack...
