Semi-Silent Sunday

Top before heading into the woods
Bottom on our way back to the barn
The weather was beautiful this morning so I shelved the idea of arena work and went for another hack in the woods instead. So of course I snapped a lot of photos en route despite Kika trying to pull my arm out a couple of time & Nancy re-rolling us along a trail i had been meaning to try for a while, so I figured why not but almost regretted it as a house bellow us seemed to be doing some electric sawing of something and scared the usually rock steady Nancy as she couldn't see where the noise was coming from but kept her fear in check my jigging slightly but not going into full meltdown.

Special shadows
Now for a relatively silent photo dump.


No better view than between these ears


Best way to stay warm, wrapping the
 quarter sheet around my thighs




Homeward bound - i love the light
Hope the photo heavy post isn't too boring, the day was too nice to spend cooped up in an arena. The barefoot trimmer was out again yesterday evening and she mentioned that both girls could be a little foot sore so i opted to take it easy with a stroll in the woods.

    1. I am super lucky with where I keep them & that Nancy is such a cool cookie. Kika is too much of a hot head to hack alone, even today she slammed on the brakes more often than ever before & N kindly stopped and waited for K to get her act together

    1. Would love for you guys to come join us, but methinks the temps when it's not sunny won't be to your habitual desert dwelling liking *blush*

  3. Indy tries to stick her ears in my nose sometimes too. I feel your pain and frustration.*sigh* mares. Don't take it too personally, sometimes they just have those days. It'll get better :)
