I haven't posted in a very long time ... I guess that's what happens when you're so busy WITH your horse you don't have time to BLOG about your horse ... but today was worth mentioning!
My Sunshine is everything I ever dreamed of in a horse ... and although we've had some amazing rides in the ring on the farm (and especially last night's moonlight ride bareback around the ring) ... I am a "trail girl" ...
Today, we took Sunny, Merlin and Doc out on the trails ... and had the best time ever ... we rode "low and slow" and enjoyed every moment of the ride ... but the highlight was ...
The last leg of our ride we tried to get into a familiar field right before home ... but the trail was so overgrown with brush, pricker bushes, etc that we had to "make our own trail". I have a nice pricker bush hickey, but enough about that ...
Doc trailblazed the way, Merlin got tangled in some old wire fencing and Sunny stood like a statue while I held Merlin and his rider, Kathy untangled him ... nobody panicked (well nobody showed panic!!!) ... And then Sunny and I walked through the tangle, through the fencing, through the crazy stone wall and then the relaxing walk home ...
I have NEVER in my life trusted a horse more and I have NEVER in my life felt the trust of a horse more ... Sunny and I are a TEAM!!!
He is truly my soul mate and I couldn't love him any more if I tried ...
