Sunshine and Saturday

Ahhhhh.... What a great day!! Today it was sunny, not terribly miserably cold (albeit still pretty chilly), and I refused to do any work! NOPE!! Tomorrow it's supposed to rain, so tomorrow I will work. But today.. today was glorious!

I slept in.. I let the ponies get some grass and play in the front field. Then we all went to Ashland for some riding. And Fleck and I enjoyed a nice ride. :) We did some trotting, some cantering, and lots of walking. :) Oh how I love this horse!


It was so nice to get to spend some time with him too. I knew... I KNEW... that when I retired him that this would happen. He got put on the back burner. I didn't have time to ride.. didn't have time to groom, didn't have time to adjust, didn't have time to clip, etc, etc, etc. Sorry Buddy... quick hugs and feeding and back out you go. And sure... I snuggle with him for a few moments every night, but.... still. I knew it would happen and I hate it. So today... we played and reveled. I groomed him. I even conditioned and brushed his tail. We went for a fairly lengthy ride and just enjoyed each others company. And I feel better!! I hope he does too. 

I'm also hoping that the warm weather and longer days that are on the horizon will help me get more time with him. :) 

Sunshine and Snuggles

Snow Day!

We got some snow today. :) Not a bunch. But enough. And the high was only 32 with a windchill of 22, so it stayed... ALL DAY!!

The boys had fun. Both Danny and Fleck were running their noses along the ground, shoveling it up. :) Hee hee. And of course Fleck always has to lick the snow on the fence or trees.

Such a cutie pie!

Twice in one week!

Yay! I got to ride Fleck twice this week :) It was cold again today so we didn't do a ton but we had fun. We walked to the lake so he could get a sip of water. It was frozen!! Then we walked around the lake and were heading back and ran into Missy and Indi. We said hi to them and then headed back in. So a quick ride, but a fun one. :) 

2018: The Year of Fleck doing whatever he wants

Happy 2018!

Snuck in a cold ride... because it has been too long since I've ridden this sweet beast!

We had a blast. He always makes me feel better. I was getting "franky"..... Cranky because I was fleck deprived. ;)

ha ha!

Merry Christmas!

Such a great Christmas! It was such a nice relaxing fun day. I spent the morning with Mike and we had a great Christmas. Then I took both boys for a ride. I rode Dan with Kelli but she had to go home after. So I hopped on Fleck and we took a quick spin. It was getting super cold. We had a lovely brisk little canter and did a tiny bit of trotting. And then... we were heading back but I noticed the sunset. So... I turned around and we watched it. And then it got cold, so we went back. Then when we were at the trailer I looked again and it was amazing, so I hopped back on and we rode back out and watched a bit more. 

 Christmas Wreaths!

 

It was such a beautiful sunset... I just sat there on my amazing pony and prayed and thanked God for everything. I thanked Jesus for all he did for us, and God for all he has done. It was lovely. And then it was super cold so I headed in. The sunset got even more amazing but it was too cold to go back out. :) 

 
Such an awesome Christmas!
