Ride with Jeff

Jeff came out to the barn with me tonight to go for a little ride. Kalani has potentially found a new home so Jeff wanted to go for a ride before he left. We fetched the horses and groomed and tacked them up. Axel got his bute and a snack and we were off. Kalani wasn't in too great a mood and didn't want to stand for mounting. Not to mention he's pretty round so the saddle doesn't stay on him too well. Jeff finally got mounted and we headed up the back hill. Axel was behaving very well and Kalani was apparently picking up the slack. He was a little full of himself and wouldn't slow down. We ended up putting a bridle on him because I couldn't find the hack. That was probably a good thing in the end. We did a lap in the meadow area and then through the woods.

I of course brought the camera but didn't have a memory card in it so that was a waste. On one hand all the leaves were gone so there wasn't pretty colors to photograph. Jeff did take a photo of me with his phone. :> When we got back to the barn both horses were a little sweaty. It was over 70F today and everyone is already getting into their winter fuzz so they were a bit warm. Cody came up to visit and everyone got their official Thomson Reuters apples. The horses had the farrier out last week and Cody's still in shoes. The next visit is December 18 and I think that time I'll have him pull the shoes and see how things go.
