Nebraska Horse Trails Game Day. Decided to bring the Gelding and ride the horse that showed up. So glad we went ! How much fun to participate in games of patience, trail skills and a "little" speed thrown in. The Rescue Race was our favorite, a gorilla patient pulled on a stretcher was no match for Chief. He handled everything with a calm, steady attitude, even the cows & bonfire.
Thanks NHTC for putting on a great day !

Late November Indian Summer


This was a fun riding day, horses were up for anything I suggested and what great weather !
Saw a few geese flying, and the deer were everywhere. A buck with a full rack got our attention when he came bounding out of no-where and came straight thru the yard ! Looking forward to the Game Day and the Gelding taking it all in stride.

Beautiful Fall Day




I'll remember today's ride when it's cold & sleety out. Gorgeous weather and a smile on my face from riding Wednesday's good horse with a go-forward attitude. No spooks, no spins, just walking down the trail on a loose rein and a confidence in him that is just now showing. Visited the pear tree again and found a hold out hanging up high that I hid in my pocket. A couple deer jumped up, but it was in the underbrush of the pond, and the Gelding was too busy eating grass to notice. We worked our way down to the creek and went further than ever before. Forecast says 4 more warm days and we intend to ride ! Oh, and he found that pear !
