Extended Equine Weekend

A day off on Friday, a trip to Equine Affaire with my husband, followed by two days of trail riding! What a fantastic 4 days! Does it get any better? Well, only maybe if I wouldn't have had to work today, but that is what pays the bills. (Oh yeah, those.)

Oh, to have the freedom to be able to ride every day! Not that I actually would ride every day if I did, but I would do "something horse" every day. There are so many things I want to do with my horses: groundwork, specific exercises, different places to ride. Each of them, even the boarder, have a few issues I would love to have the time to work on. And, plenty of time to just leisurely groom them. Or watch them munch their hay. Appreciate the eagerness on their faces when I bring out carrots. And the very best.. when they do something willingly that I have been working on.. (for example, a horse who has been difficult to load finally willingly loading themselves in the trailer),.. and you realize they are really just doing everything they do for you.... just to please their human. If that's not one of the most incredibly humbling feelings on this earth, I don't know what is.
