During our break last week Cass and I went up to our friend Laura's family's farm to ride the Icelandic ponies...I mean horses that Laura has been telling us about. I was doubtful of her raves, but I have to admit they are a lot of horse in a little body and not at all what I was expecting. Laura and I were able to get in two long rides and I was amazed by their incredibly smooth gates and their ability to move out on the trail. Cassidy felt very comfortable on the broad back as well. In between our rides, she rode bareback for about 15 minutes with me just walking alongside and then not ready to get down, rode another 15 minutes before saying all done. I think she might have been a little cold though, and inside with Laura's wonderful mother-in-law was a piano and cats...a tough combo to be away from for too long.
The little grey is the horse that Laura is bringing home. His name is Loxy and is 5 years old. I got to ride him on our second ride and he is coming along really well. It's going to be really fun riding together, especially seeing the little draft horse next to Tucker the big draft horse. Oh the places we'll go!
