After Margaret and I had such a fun time at the fall hunter pace, we opted to go again this spring!

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.

Dreamy and I had another chance to play with cows this year at the 2013 team penning clinic hosted by the Central Maine Team Penning Association on May 18. I wrote about it here last year.

I really hope I can make time to compete at a CMTPA show this year! COWS MORE COWS This is Shelly's project horse. He was super good and very happy to hang with Dreamy all day! Does this saddle make my butt look big? Cute face, weird angle. Her neck is not that skinny, promise! Wild pony! Dreamy likes being a cow pony! The professional pics are here .
