The other night Rich and I went riding together.  Husband on his dirt bike and wife on her pony.  It was really cool.

Val and Spike

June 16, 2016

Val came over to ride with me on Monday!  She rode Spike and they were amazing together.  Val whipped him through bending, 3 mug, mug shuffle, two flag and litter.  She was particularly flying through 3 mug and knocking my socks off.  That tends to be a rather complicated race for a pony new to it, but you would never have thought that watching Val and Spike.  Val really wowed me with her mad skills and riding ability.  I have only seen her on her normal pony Sprite for so long that I almost forgot how awesome she is.  And did I mention she just had a baby four weeks ago?

Val and Spike make one hot pair.  And it felt natural seeing her on a white Arab type since that’s what her long time pony Sprite is (I mean really, they almost have the same name).

Paint me impressed.

Here is a quick video of them going through two flag followed by two fun iphone pics.

Some horses just love their job.

 

Fencing in the Rain 

June 3, 2015 

I was out of town for a few days and the husband managed to keep all the beasts alive.  He did report that he “had to chase the ponies across some fields and down the road” on his dirt bike and successfully recovered both ponies with the help of a random stranger.  That was on my second day away.  I have not asked for details.  

So what do I do when I get home? I work on fencing in the rain!
