I went with my friend Jodi and our sons to the Poker Ride. For the most part, our horses were good. All of them a bit excited. We borrowed a little paint from a friend for Jodi's son. We've been on rides with the paint before and he's been real quiet but today he was on fire. Her son handled him very well, but I felt bad that he wasn't really given a chance to relax and just ride. My two horses did good. There was prancing at times but there was relaxing walks too. My son got frustrated with Classy's prancing. Last year, Classy pranced the whole thing with me. I put a nice fleece seat cover on his saddle in anticipation of this bouncy trail ride. Ever hear the term, A Happy Wife, makes a Happy Life? Well, a happy son makes a happy trail ride! My horse, Muffin, was good mostly. I was happy with him. My son did ride up too close on us a few times, Muffin kicked out twice. Can I say that I'm a little glad? I kept telling my son to pay attention and horse's don't like that. I think he got the picture finally. In the end, Jodi won a nice rope halter and lead rope. It had a $35 price tag on it. Wow. Cool.  
I just love Muffin's tossled mane look as we look down at Kaleb. Just taking a break. 
Kaleb and I watched the end of the Black Stallion recently. So towards the end of the ride, he had to wave his hands (at a walk) *LOL*. 
BIG rain cloud coming our direction. Thankfully we were on the home stretch because we were not dressed for a wet day.  |

Beautiful pictures!
We were busy at the Junior Livestock Show, where Alexa had raised a hog for FFA. It's been a great experience for her for the past two years, but boy, I'm exhausted!
Hopefully we will be able to get out next weekend and do something fun -- maybe the Cowgirl Co-Op thing?
