Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Woke up on Friday morning and just decided to skip my rides. Unless the farrier is coming, or one of my boys has an owie, I ride pretty much every day during the summer. But on Friday morning, I just felt like we needed a break. Speedy G had given me a much improved ride the day before, and Sydney has only had a couple of days off in the past month ... so, we took a day off from schooling.
Just after deciding to skip my morning ride, Cha Ching's mom called and asked if I wanted to take that foal tour we've been putting off and follow it up with lunch at our favorite burger joint. Well of course I was in! We drove out to her mom's place and checked out the foals and German riding ponies. Here's some of the silly pictures I took (I forgot to take pictures until near the end of our tour). And of course, I did swing by my own barn to turn my boys out, give them post turn-out showers, and feed them their lunch. Their photos are at the end. Enjoy! 5/6/2012 07:43:56 pm
