Day 2 on Trail ~~ 9 Miles





Day 2 ~~ Trails and Pete





Pete did better today, than yesterday, good minded and willing. 

walks out, seems to like getting out and seeing the new sites. 



Sporting his new saddle, which fits him really well. 




  9 miles, and legs are nice and tight. ;)

First Time on Trails


8 Miles and our first trail time ~~


   
So much for a well laid plan,,,, the heat was not to be beat today!  It was very beautiful none the less, and both ponies did very well.  Didn't think Pete was ready for the bridge today and didn't want to attempt on such a hot day.  So I back tracked a couple miles to make for 8.12 mile day.









The last few days have been unseasonably hot,  but, I decided to go ahead and ride today, figured I would head out early and try and beat the heat.










Home ~ And Fitting for a Saddle


                                                                          Pete ~.







              Pete came home from 2 months of training, and due to us selling our home and moving, he had to set for 2 months, before I could really get going on riding him.  Thankfully he is a good minded guy.  Once we got settled into our tiny house and the horses moved to Linda's place the work started back up for Pete.  I found a temporary saddle, I got a plaster cast of his back and he has been being worked since he arrived.  I have started riding him and expanding his education to obstacles, and daily handling and riding, and hauling to the fair grounds too.
