That half of July went by fast.
My friend Amy and I rode on Friday the 13th.
Didn't even notice it was the 13th until I read Stude's post.
Chica did so great on the ride that I put her up early to end on the positive.
She didn't even spook when Mike the jack rabbit jumped up in front of her.
I grabbed up Tex and finally got to try the new treeless to finish out the ride.
He had a huge giant spook when a deer popped up close on his left side.
All was well and the saddle and I stayed on. (like getting hit by bus)
B is coming to ride this morning. I imagine she will want to take Sarcee.
Which means a different horse to ride with and a different saddle for Chica.
I am thinking of possibly buying Chica a synthetic so we don't have tack changes.
I have been using Sarcee's saddle on her. It is a 13 inch bear trap barrel saddle.
Chica is somewhat petite compared to everyone else but a wide back like her momma.
I have the Crates but am reluctant to start using it since it is the saddle my late husband bought for me.
Pilot and I took a lunch day yesterday. We tried a new old place. It has been there for years but now new management.
and much improved. Sat on the deck over the river. Perfect, except we ate fried seafood and fries. We paid for it the rest of the day but it was good.
I hope all are having a good weekend and haven't abandoned us permanently?
