A tip when the water is rushing past is to focus on the exit point on the far bank. It's very easy, if looking down at the water, to become disorientated and even start to head the wrong way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-39104799707322357262008-07-15T18:42:00.000-07:002008-07-15T18:42:00.000-07:00hahaaha~ Love that big, round, spotted butt stuck ...hahaaha~ Love that big, round, spotted butt stuck right up in the air!

There is a little pond that we ride to to swim and such. Probably won't get him too deep but it's a nice and quick ride I think may be appropriate for a relaxing night.<BR/><BR/>Love the pics.

He had been agitated by bugs before this and he took one look at the bridge, backed up, then spun around to my sister's mare. I was not in the mood to deal with this bridge on his back and he's crossed it 100x, even while in the lead, so I knew he was just being silly. So I got off and led him across, without mishap. However, I have never walked across this bridge on foot, and can not tell you how wobbily it felt! The whole thing shimmied like a suspension bridge! Then I saw a little lizard running alongside the left railing. Okay, it was no komodo dragon, but I would much rather have been in My Boy's saddle right about then!<BR/><BR/>Heidi: I have heard of Winthrop and it sounds like a lot of fun. When I was in eastern Oregon for a Parelli event in May, I heard of a town called Sisters which is also very old-western themed. We didn't have time to stop, but I hope to someday. And yep, I rode a swimming horse once and I'll have to share that story another time.<BR/><BR/>TW: A blogger friend meet-up in Vegas would indeed be something we should plan one day! We need a horse blogger convention! ;)<BR/><BR/>KWD: I know my sister will read your comment on hauling, thanks for the advice!

LOL!<BR/><BR/>I have one that rolls everytime after I ride!<BR/><BR/>Way to go Pony Girls sista on pulling the trailer! It can be scary the first couple of times you do it, breath and relax, you'll do fine!! The best tip hubby gave me when I started hauling by myself was-remember to put enough space between you and the other cars. You can't stop on a dime with all that weight. Practice is the best thing-it will get easier each time. You will get used to how much space you need and adjust every time. People continue to amaze me how they drive-they are idiots! Pulling out in front of me or slamming on there brakes in front of me! Just p*sses me off, do they not know I have precious cargo!

It desperately needed to be done, but I sure would have rather been riding. Now we are back to hot and miserable.

Yes indeedy, the time is near for a new horse to become OUR horse, so that I too can join everyone in the ears int he bottom of the pic ranks (YAY TRACEY!!!) <BR/><BR/>As always PG_ love the shots.

I only have to drive the horsetrailer on the narrow, country roads. And I have driven it empty on the freeway once. I need to practice with it loaded on the freeway because our family ranch trip is only a few weeks away! So plan on taking the long way home everytime we go trail riding!<BR/>It sure looks like my Arab is out of control on this ride.:) I am starting to wonder if I have lost my spunky, crazy Arab? She was so relaxed today without any other horse around her it really makes me wonder......hmmmm....the family might think I am making this "crazy" stuff up when they see her for the first time in August!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-37463163479801635932008-07-15T00:36:00.000-07:002008-07-15T00:36:00.000-07:00Gorgeous!

She did ok but did crowhop twice because she wanted to go in the direction of home and I wouldn't let her. I almost lost my seat once! That was the time that I had finally remembered to take out my Sony camera in order to get a nice picture of a big pond and a field of sunflowers behind it. I didn't fall off and I didn't drop the camera so I think I did pretty well. I turned that mare in circles and proceeded the opposite way than she wanted to go. She needs more time riding. Today is was a nice day, high of 87 or so but low humidity. I had to cut my ride short cause I had to go into town for more radiation treatments. But afterwards we went to Abby's house for dinner. It was fantastic. Good company and good food. We had fresh green beans and squash our of our garden. Yum yum. On the way home my family stopped at Sonic Drive-In and had Sonic Blasts. They are very similar to a DQ Blizzard for anyone who has not heard of Sonic.Trailbosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560979016510119034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-10392077202565472552008-07-14T18:54:00.000-07:002008-07-14T18:54:00.000-07:00i LOOOOOVE the pic you took from the top of My Boy...i LOOOOOVE the pic you took from the top of My Boy with his head showing and the road stretched out in front of you! that is awesome!!!<BR/><BR/>oh, and i love your brownies. they are a weakness of mine as well...Marchellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837513631701432273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-61003760599200574302008-07-14T18:10:00.000-07:002008-07-14T18:10:00.000-07:00Wow, what a gorgous trail ride!
