Good morning :) We're having a different sort of Easter this year, too. Hubby is in Utah planning his motorcycle event, my Dad and stepmom are with her family and my mother-in-law is still in the rehab facility. The younger girls and I are joining Caitlyn, the oldest and my sister and family down in Newport Beach where Caitlyn now lives, going out to eat at a dog-friendly restaurant and going to the beach. It is strange to not be cooking and baking...... but new isn't always bad, right. No dishes!! I'll probably end up making a dessert that Kelly and I can eat later in the day on Sunday :)
This morning we have Pony Club and later in the afternoon, Kelly, Tahoe and I are heading down to Galway Downs to school cross country! Should be fun, always neat to have new obstacles :)
Beautiful morning here, too. Got in a long, relaxing ride yesterday afternoon with my riding buddy. We actually did a long trot/canter for Cody and I, rack or walk? for my riding buddy on her TWH. She is still trying to figure out how to get him smooth. He seems to gait well for a while and then loses it and becomes bumpy. I think it is probably because he isn't in good shape and can't maintain it as well as she doesn't know how to collect him and get him off the forehand and using his hind end but knowing really nothing about gaited horses, I'm useless to her...... Either way, we had fun and the horses are in much better shape and barely sweated even after 10 min. of really moving out.
Need to get someone to come clear the weeds and clutter off the cross country property, got a fire dept. notice...... There goes the money we got for Athena......
