Gotta be careful with that Red Cell . . . fed some to my mare and she started feeling TOO good . . . bucking and carrying on in the ring. And she put on probably about 50 pounds. Looked good!

"I love how Bay's ears always go straight out over the bridges... "

He's listening for trolls, same as I would be doing :)

Tuffy took first place today in halter, class of eight. No pictures, I wasn't there :)

Bob has been pretty ill lately so I pled too tired to go and stayed home and took the weed eater to the yard. Had a feeling he'd win, the big guy (Prez) didn't go today, just Tuffy. Tuffy can't win if Prez is in the same class.

That's my question. I have a hard time envisioning any of my horses going across that bridge willingly.

Thank you. We have yet another appointment with another doctor tomorrow, perhaps he'll have some answers.

I've seen green horses not want to go 'first' over them, but they'll usually follow another horse over, or riders sometimes get off and lead them over the first time. After they've done it once, they usually don't have further trouble :~)

I don't remember Bay's first time, it's so long ago, but Cyn went right over when we got her. Bay sometimes gets a little buggie and coiled because they're loud, and sometimes walks faster to get off them at the end. :~)

Prayers for Bob, Duchess, that he's feeling better soon. And congrats on Tuffy, he's growing up pretty, and I think will beat Prez one day :~)

~yawn~ I just woke up. The couch put me to sleep for a good couple hours, guess the ride wore me out.

Well it'll be fun for you to see them in person... I know Kat's been over them, so she'll be OK, but maybe we'll have to lead Becky across the first time :~D

Those bridges aren't scary to me, as a rider. A horse would have to try pretty hard to fall off of them, the rails are high :~D - In fact, it's the rails on them that make me more nervous than the bridge, because that top cap on the railing looks like it could cut your leg right off if they jammed you up against the sides. But don't worry, I've never seen that actually happen. :~)

The little ones without railings look scarier to me, because they could step off of them. True, it's not very far down, but who knows what's down there.

Great pictures of your ride! You were talking about how you liked the way Bay's ears went out to the sides while crossing the bridges, but I got a real chuckle about how they were pointed so tightly forward when you came out into the new logged clearing. It's like he was thinking "SHAZAM! Where the heck are we?!" LOL!

That smaller bridge would worry me for the same reason.

So sorry to hear that Bob's been ill. I'll keep him in my prayers that the doctor will be able to find out what the problem is and take care of it.
