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. She's a good rider but hasn't known Ladyhawke for very long and didn't realize how much of a cranky boss mare she could be at times.

Day Twelve: Favorite horse color
I don't really have a favorite horse color. I like any color of horse that is well trained and easygoing! LOL! But if I really had to chose, I would say chestnut. I love sorrels, bright red chestnuts, dark liver chestnuts.....any of the variations. It might be because my first horse Sparky is a chestnut or because I myself am red-headed (remember my senior pic from the last post...??). ;-) For all the banter about chestnut mares being so difficult, I have always loved mares. And I think I get along with the red-headed ones the best because we are alike! :-D

As Sparky has aged, the roaning on her face has increased... |
Crabby face, but shows Sparky's chestnut color! |
Funny - up until recently I would have said bay (although I'm happy with a good horse of any color), but now that I have my first chestnut/sorrel (first ever in all my years and years of horses) and am about to get a second chestnut, I must say I'm very taken with them. Pie is very red, which I really like.
