Friday night the boys and I headed over to MIL’s so we could get up and go shopping for TX on Sat. The boys crashed pretty early so MIL and I headed out to the barn. Cat was being pretty pushy so I put her halter on and put her to work. She is a very smart girl and didn’t mess w/me too much.
While I was working with Cat, MIL starting working with Sis. The next thing I knew – MIL was riding Sis bareback around the dark pasture. Temptation overwhelmed me and the next thing I knew I was up on Cat bareback riding around with MIL in a dark pasture full of loose horses. It was wonderful! Cat was so quiet and laid back, almost as if I’d been riding her all summer. We rode for probably 30 – 45 minutes before calling it a night.
I just looked back and my last ride on Cat was June 13th! I knew it had been a while!
Saturday we got up and went shopping. I finally found a new pair of boots and picked up a couple of pairs of jeans. After our shopping spree we headed back to the farm and cleaned out the trailer. I gave it a quick power wash inside and out and then we loaded it up and headed back to MIL’s. Sunday we got all of the packing (for the horses) complete. I brought Black back home so she can stay on her feeding schedule while we are gone but the others (Bell, Cat, & Abby) will be staying at MIL’s while we are gone.
Lucy got a quick trim this morning so she’s ready to go (as ready as she’ll be). Now it is just time to get me and the boys packed!
