Nothing exciting. Just a doting owner who thinks her big brown Zweibrücker is super cute. I apologize in advance, but today, you simply get pictures of him being a goof ball.  How can you not smile knowing that your pal is thoroughly enjoying himself? For whatever reason, Izzy likes Laurel's turnout much more than he likes to be turned out in his home arena.  He really likes that cone! Her turn out space is under the trees, very close to her barn, so maybe he just likes the view there.  So much so that he insisted I play with it too. She also has a big water trough that stays cool, but it might be the cone.  I am not sure where the dirt came from, but isn't that a cool picture? I went to Home Depot over the weekend to buy him one of his own. They were surprisingly cheap at $15 a pop, so I bought two.  He is just too darn cute for words. :0) I am sure that they will lose their appeal within the next day or so now that he has one at home, but they were cheap, so it was worth it.

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.
