In the meantime I'm staying pretty active!! After getting the yard chores done and watching the last of the Tour de France with Bet, I headed over to Husch's to go riding. Gabi wasn't around, so it was just Melody and I today (and Husch's 'Cricket' - Belle).
We had a really nice ride.
Melody grabbing a quick snack after our ride - do you see a theme here??? |
She's a character of a horse and I'm very much enjoying spending time with her!!!!
Big thanks to Gabi for trusting me with her!!!!
And don't worry Mom, I'm being responsible and wearing a helmet!!!!
When I got home, I was greeted by this....
I think that is the border collie version of the cold shoulder....
Oh dear!!!
I had been thinking of taking my bike out for a road ride, but this meant a change of plans was in order - Bet and I hit the dog trails instead!!
I'm still working on the biking and taking pictures thing - not as easy as running dogs and taking pictures!!
I think the cold shoulder treatment is gone!!! She might even be smiling at me now!!!
Phew!!!

Interesting stirrups on that English saddle. They look almost like western stirrups. Is that what they are? Melody looks like a beautiful, fun horse. I used to ride a horse very similar named Tapestry (Tappy). I loved her a lot. Excellent dressage horse!
You got some great pics of Bet. She looks like she is having a great time getting over her pouting. I can't get over how you can ride on those dog rails and not kill yourself. You are, of course, used to staying on a sled! And you are such a multi-talented woman.
