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.

I love this thing! I am usually a traditionalist and have used a black rubber curry forever. But last summer when I was purchasing new brushes for Reva's arrival, I decided to try one. I had admired it for a while, since it is SO cute, but I figured nothing could work like my big-as-my-hand rubber currycomb. I was WRONG! I loved it so much that I decided to buy one for each of my other two mares. I still have my rubber currycombs and rubber grooming gloves, especially for legs and faces. The Epona Flower Curry is really just for the larger areas of the horse, over the muscles of the neck, barrel, and hindquarters. They sell for about $5, which is pretty reasonable I think. They are great for smaller hands like mine. I love the colors, they clean easily, and don't seem to loose their "shed-ability". This is a definite must-have for every grooming kit! :D
