snowy foot

Today was the last warm day we should have for awhile. It was almost 40! I couldn't believe how nice it felt. 

I went to see and ride my girl. She was a little squirrely, so I was glad to be getting her out for a little exercise. She saddled like it's been a year. Of course, I've only been riding her bare for the past couple of months. Sweet thing. We did not use a bitted bridal though. Just her rope harness. She's even great with leg reigning even under saddle. 
She's come so far. :)

We had a fun little traipse through the snow. It was a little scary for me at first because it was pretty icy under some of the snow. But once I remembered that Gwin has been walking through snow for 20 years, and she does have a few legs to stand on, we were golden. 

I loved seeing her and spending time together. I am so looking forward to the spring when we can be together more often.

Today, Zeek and I went to see Gwin. 

Gwen and Morgan were there to clean up and ride. 

I cuddled and groomed Gwin. 

Then I rode her bareback while Zeek and Morgan played in the snow together. 

It was a beautiful afternoon. 

Gwin and I trotted bare for the first time. 

She was SO sweet and sensitive and attentive. 

Like never before. 

It's been a few weeks since I've ridden, and that could have done it. 

Sweet girl. 

Then, Zeek asked to ride. 

Morgan rode Angel and Zeek rode Gwin around in the pen together. 

It was so cute. 

I could see them growing up together to be ridding buddies. 

Gwen rode with Morgan on Angel. I didn't realize it was okay to do that. 

I know we always did it when we were kids, 

and as much as I'd LOVE to with Zeek on Gwin, 

I wasn't too keen on the idea. 

Now that I know it's fine we are SO going to start doubling. 

I can't wait. ;)
