Back in the Saddle ... again ... again

Ran out to the barn a couple times last week actually.  Once to remove Booker's blanket before it was 70F out.  And then again to go for a ride later in the week.  Unfortunately Booker's feet are getting long and he was feeling a bit off so we only worked on some corner circles and some leg yielding.  I really need to get some cantering under my belt before the clinic in a couple weeks.

Speaking of, things are rolling in our new Cowboy Mounted Shooting hobby.  We started desensitizing a couple years ago and then I went and got pregnant so now we're determined to get something going this year.  We are signed up for a new shooter clinic at the end of this month and we plan to shoot in a Mother's day shoot in May.  Hopefully some other shoots as well.

So right now I'm working with a local leathersmith to maybe make up a holster and hopefully get that sooner than later.  And there's a tack sale at the end of the month.  I'm probably being optimistic but it'd be great to find some chinks, a shirt, and a hat.
