Damn, but that's one cute pony!
I don't really do gratuitous photo dumps, mostly because I have a hard time seeing beauty over function. I am far more impressed by good movement (which I never get to show since I never have a photographer) than I am by cuteness, but this weekend, Speedy just looked so darned cute in his black tack that I actually walked back to the tack room for my camera. 
Sweet as can be, but horrible at ground tying!
Since I am his human Pez dispenser, he refuses to stay put for photos, so getting "cute" photos is always a challenge. I have about million up the nose shots because I can't run away as fast as he can chase me. 
The last moment before he came after me - awkward! Just stand still, dude ...
After so many years together, I find that I like him better now than I ever have. And frankly, he gets better looking every year too!

Thanks. :0) And yes! If you can't be happy with what you already have, do you deserve more? I feel very blessed. :0)

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
