Good morning everyone! Pouring out here.... and I'm about to go out and clear out my drainages in the mud!

Ruthy just called, she had her first ride at the new stable today... got rained out there too, even in Florida. :~D

Well I didn't get to ride either. They were late feeding. Then a foal in a round pen and lessons in the arena. Sarah Lee needed lunging after Okie. It was getting hot and felt like noon and we had to go. I got in the truck and it was 10 oclock. I told Eddie to turn around and take me back. He said "hey, I didn't say it was noon. You did" He knew though! I'm gonna try again this evening.

It was gloomy with a steady drizzle when we left.

Thankfully, it lightened up and then stopped once we got the horses brushed and saddled. I really liked how the lady who runs the place insisted that all of the riders learn how to care for the horses. Rebecca used a curry comb for the first time. And so did I. *grin*

Today she rode a handsome pony named Rocky. She wasn't happy about being led rather than riding herself around, but this was her first "official" lesson, so all rules had to be followed.

They had a variety of horses there. The paint is Sassy, the palomino is Chey-Annie and the liver chestnut is Dancer. They have about 25 horses in all, but only a few were brought out today.

I really liked Trigger. I hope to get to ride him when my lessons begin.

This place was very pretty with lots of grass and well-kept stalls. The horses seemed happy too, despite the rain that reappeared, forcing us back inside.

I took the chicken coop picture for 2J. :-D

Good afternoon - rained here this morning too. Wish I had never watched the movie "Day After Tomorrow". I'm beginning to get more paranoid than I already was.
