and in the 60's. Have been fighting a sore throat and decided the best thing to do was stay away from crowds so skipped Church. I played with Whisper instead. Had not ridden her since last August.
I used the shedding blade and got some hair out of her. Next a little work on mane and tail. Then face. She still looked a mess. Saddled her up, bridled her and stepped on. She was really good. stalled on me once but I waited her out and she decided I really was in charge. no hitting, no head tossing, just standing there. We went where I wanted and then back to the barnyard. Cal came home from church just as I was starting to unsaddle her so I called for him to come over and got him to take some pictures of us. So happy with this mare.
