Wentworth Hunter Pace - June 6, 2021

After Margaret and I had such a fun time at the fall hunter pace, we opted to go again this spring! This time, while I rode Rejoice again, Margaret rode her horse Jester and had a friend ride Ladyhawke. All Kennebec Morgans!! Jester and Rejoice have the same dam and Jester and Lady share the same sire. Unfortunately instead of a lovely late spring day, we had one of the first intensely hot and humid days of the year. It was definitely a bummer, but the ride was mostly in the shade of the woods and we had a great time!  most of the fences were 3' coops but we found a small log and this hay to jump haha Until we didn't. 😑 We brought along a third friend who rode Margaret's older mare, Ladyhawke.

  3. As you know my BO and I just went through this last Jan with her wonderful TB Red. As difficult as it is to make the decision and carry through, it really is for the best. Volo is running free with all his friends and making new ones I am sure.

  4. Reading this brings tears to my eyes. I know this day too will come for my precious Treat. I only hope that she lives as long and as healthy as Volo. I am sure he is now running (pacing):), with all the others now. RIP Volo.
