Weekend Update

Rachel and I went out Saturday to see the horses. The day was a little chilly, but sunny, and we took the horses out for a walk on their lead lines, out in the desert. That was a nice departure from the usual routine, and I was glad to have Wishes experience something new. She did alright, but got nervous over by an adjacent property that has dogs. We didn't actually see any dogs, but she could definitely smell them. She would freeze and hold her head up high, ears pricked forward and nostrils flaring. It would have been a bit annoying, but she looks so beautiful when she stands like that. She would trot around in a little circle and I'd make her go in the opposite direction and then back up, to try to refocus her attention on me. It worked well, and before long she calmed down. Of course, Colbert just plodded along as usual, as if to say, "What's all the fuss about?" We ran into Katherine and Ace back at the ranch and had a nice chat.

Sunday, I went out briefly with Grace, but it was very chilly and windy and cloudy, and no one except Eric and his friend, Tim, were out there. We took a few pics and left. Eric took some cute ones of me giving Grace a "horsey-back" ride in the arena.
