Ahhhhh Django! We had a lovely ride this morning. My friend Sandy on Duke and me on Django. No one to take photos however...It was cool, no bugs, and a wonderful way to start the day! Sandy is taking lessons on Duke for the first time in her life at 60! Brave woman. And already out riding in the field. And I love having someone to ride with as I get acquainted with Django. Tomorrow after our ride another friend is coming out and we will work on the ground with things Django is not used to...things like tarps and umbrellas...and quietly introduce scary stuff and work on his confidence. I am falling in love with this horse. I am so comfortable being around him and he loves the attention...quite a difference from Ellie.
Speaking of Miss Ellie...Sandy and I went to a little horse show at SLU last Saturday and saw Miss Ellie jumping! She is doing so well...not as b*tchy either. Standing quietly...jumping quietly...I am soooo happy she has the right home. And her new owner, Jerry, rides her almost every day to put some miles on her--something I couldn't do.
Hopefully this weather will hold and we can ride in the coolness of the mornings! Meanwhile Happy Friday!

It's so nice to hear that you're riding often. I'm so happy for you! My husband ordered a tri-loom for my birthday. I don't have it yet but I can't wait for it to come. I've always been so inspired by your beautiful scarves, and that's what made me want to get one. ~Doreen
