Short Ride today.......

There was a break in the rain, it didn't today! YIPPEE! Still everything is wet, muddy and soggy but I rode on the road in front of the house. Short ride but any ride is a good ride! I'm just happy to be able to even have 20 minutes on him but we got in an hour! Fun....just worked on leg yields, side passes and trotting. I didn't get any pictures, forgot to take the camera out, so this is a picture from last fall.

I'm jealous! It has been gorgeous all week and I'd planned to get out to the barn today, but I wasn't feeling well and slept all afternoon instead. :o( But there's always tomorrow!

Katharine, I hope you are feeling better now! I will ride again tomorrow too if it's not raining; it's suppose to tonight. We've had enough rain for now, I need more ride time.

ohman, it must have felt so good to have a ride with the Gilly-boy. Betting he enjoyed it, too! Shame on you for forgetting your camera! ~grin~

Paint Girl said...

Yeah! You got out for a ride! It has rained almost all week here, it is supposed to be halfway decent on Saturday, so hopefully I'll get a ride in!

I so want to go for a trail ride. I'm kind of stuck. No trailer, no one to go with me at the stable. They are all show horses.

Yay! I'm glad you found a little patch of time without rain to ride. :)

My camera has a case that fits on my belt! I leave my camera with my cell phone so that I can always remember to take it with me!!! Glad you got to ride...it was 104 here today...too hot!!!

jane augenstein said...

Jacque, it was wonderful! I need to tie my camera around my neck!
Paint Girl, next week it's supposed to be sunny all week! HOPE!
cowgirljlynn, thanks! :-)
Dusty Devoe, I ride by myself a lot. Kim's horse has been lame for some time so no one to ride with here either.
Lisa, ahhh, it was grand to be on Gil's back again. Hope you get to ride Baby Doll soon! :-)
Desert Rose, I need to have a chalk board by the door with a list of things to take riding! LOL Wow! 104, that's HOT!!!

Julia, thanks! our weather is getting better for riding, finally.
Julie, yes, it does! Probably no riding this weekend but hoping that on Tuesday I can have my instructor out for a lesson! :-)
