We had a fun Christmas gathering on the Saturday after Christmas so that she and Bo could be included.
We three sisters enjoyed being together and had some fun aggravating our mom and going through old pictures and reminiscing. From left to right - Robbin, Me and Shelly.
Before Bo went home he wanted to ride, so he and JT both rode on New Years Day. Bo chose Stylin and JT chose Maybe. Dixie got to have a break from the kids. I was very impressed with Bo's skills - I don't think he's ridden since he was here over a year ago.
JT continues to be a great little rider and it's time for me to take him on a trail ride. We did have a little mishap yesterday, though. Between me not retightening his girth on the pony saddle and him not letting me know that his saddle had gotten off center, the little saddle slid off to the side while he was cantering. He told Maybe to whoa, grabbed the fence and stepped off of her. She's such a great little horse, she just stood there while we got her resettled and JT climbed back on.

I was very impressed with the looks of the paint pony until i got a look at the long mane on the other! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteOH I am so jealous you got to have your sister around for the holidays. I miss all my sisters so much. It's so wonderful to have family over!! And how much fun to ride together. Maybe sounds like such a good girl. And I am still in awe at her super long mane!! It's so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had a great Holiday!!
I am here looking for that new snake bite medicine! I have spent this evening catching up on my favorite blogs and it has taken considerably more time because i keep having to refill my hot buttered rum. I need a new system of fetching the things, i think.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I wish I'd gotten some riding time in. I"m definitely suffering withdrawal.
ReplyDeleteWow! Look at all those smiling faces, especially of the boys riding the horses. Sounds like you all had the bst time with family visiting. I bet it was a little sad when they left.
ReplyDeleteI hope they can come back soon and do some trail rides with you. That JT is one good rider. He made a very good save. Well, and a very good horse made a very big difference, too.
Thanks for sharing the news :)
