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.

This year I was excited to stumble across a new-to-me blog, Fly On Over written by an equestrienne named Tracy. I was even more pumped to read about her annual Blogger Gift Exchange, because Christmas and giving gifts is my favorite. When it was time, I eagerly signed up and awaited my blogger pal's name and address. Again, it was a new-to-me blogger, so I scoured her blog for hints and ideas of what to purchase for her. Her gifts arrived yesterday according to the tracking number and I hope she liked them!
I received my blogger gift yesterday and it is PERFECT!!! Remember that super neat t-shirt I blogged about a few months ago? Yeah, my fantastic gifter, Nadia from 3Day Adventures with Horses, bought it for me! I couldn't believe it! She ordered a large and sent the receipt with it, which is great because I do need to exchange it for a small. I have already contacted the company and have it ready to send out tomorrow. That is totally not an issue, because GUYS SHE BOUGHT THE COOL STANDARDBRED SHIRT that I would have never bothered to buy for myself! That is the best type of present! Nadia threw in a cute stocking of Mrs. Pasture's Cookies for the mares, too!
Thank you, Nadia! Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated! Happy Holidays everyone!

I didn't unfold the t-shirt for the pic because I wanted it to stay well folded for the exchange! |

What a great gift. That's a cool shirt and it's totally the sort of thing you want, but don't want to buy for yourself.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Olivia! That makes it even better for sure! :-)
