Workin' Out!

Jesse & Target

Farah has been in rare form the last couple days - she tore around the pasture like a crazy horse yesterday...  Why do I get in trouble when the mare acts up?  :-)  I was told that I need to ride her more!?

Today - Joyce & I had our ride planned & Farah was Oh So happy to see Jesse - her second favorite to Target - who she finds more handsome.  Even so, she was throwing her head, threatening Jesse & moving out like we were as Joyce said;  "Going to a fire."  Joyce has a plan for a upcoming ride that she wants to condition for & has pretty much talked me into going - though with my own plan :-)

The brown spot is a deer

With all these plans - we're picking up the pace, Farah as usual was more than up for that!  We did see a young doe - but besides a few fishermen walking to the river, all was quiet.

Love this stand of trees - with just a few large Douglas Fir

 We went here & there, Joyce as usual finding the best of the good trotting trails.  We did make a few stops for blackberries & saw plenty of Bear scat too!

Jackson doing what we'd have liked to!

It was nice having Jackson with us - running up ahead & even through Farah gave him some terribly dirty looks - he has forgotten getting kicked!  I had to warn him off more than once!

Joyce & Jesse

Since it was close to a perfect day to ride, we were out for almost three hours & it still seemed to go way too fast.  We went down along the area that was logged last season & looked over at the parking area - kind of a novel view.

Bracken Trailer Parking

We're still waiting for some of the upcoming seasons color...  There are some leaves falling & trotting along, we got just the first whiff of the scent of Fall.
