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. She kicked Jester right in the front leg just about halfway through the ride, and while the cut itself ended up not being a big deal in the
Thanks to Kate over at Riding from the Ground Up for bestowing blog award to me! Yay! This one is called the One Lovely Blog award. I love sharing these (sort of silly, admit it) awards with my little blogging community. It is good fun and it is almost like winning ribbons! LOL!! ;-D
I am supposed to tell you seven things about myself and chose 15 blogs to share this award with.
1. I try really hard to not be the "mean old English teacher" in all facets of my life. ;-)
2. I despise anything remotely related to being domestic. My only domestic quality is that I live in a house! ;-) I routinely wish I had a housewife who would do all that cooking, cleaning, and laundry awfulness for me. UGGG! My barn is always cleaner than my house.
3. I am way too competitive for my own good. But I do have sportsmanship and can win humbly and lose gracefully.
4. I can be too honest at times, which can get me into trouble.
5. I have a Puritan work ethic and have to remember not to burn myself out. Saying no is hard to do. I also sometimes hold others to a higher ethical standard than they hold themselves and it stresses me out.
6. I am easily frustrated by parents who lie for their children. They need to make their little cherubs own up to their poor choices and not blame others.
7. I can be quiet, which leads others to sometimes think I am snobby. That is the FURTHEST thing from the truth! If you don't like me, you definitely don't know me. :-)
And the 15 blogs I will award this to:
1. G is for Greta
2. The Polka Dot Periodical
3. The Adventures of Lucy
4. Memoirs of a Horse Girl
5. We are Flying Solo
6. Haiku Farm
7. Hopeful Jumpers
8. Born to Trot
9. A Horse and a Half
10 Now That's A Trot
11. Horses of Follywoods
12. Sprinkler Bandit
13. Green 'n Green = Black 'n Blue
14. Slow and Steady Wins the Race
15. Live to Ride
