That long gap in my blogging....

Here's the reason for my lack of posting. Bless Fay, he goes at horse training very seriously. It has to be every day available. I loved the two hour rides every morning. We went to the saddle club grounds, we rode out on the street, we went out Seven Mile road and up on the ridge. Rabbits, gray diggers, dogs, people, deer all kinds of wild life.

Camera Lessons

Fay mutters a lot but our first picture taking lesson was a success. I have to agree, the buttons are small on my digital camera and it's easy to bump the wrong thing. His first pic of me is blurry, but the second isn't. He got two good pics of Beauty in the arena, but I didn't make it into the pics of Beauty like he intended.

Fay got his shadow in the one pic though. :))

We both think he needs to figure out how to get the pic and not get too much reflection on the view finder. I am so proud of him, he's using a digital camera.

Beauty's First Field Trip

Beauty is the colt Fay got for $25, she's out of a mare he had for over six years. He loved Peppy and when three years ago she dropped her only colt at 20 years old. He had to have her.

I'm not sure we need another horse, I'm not sure we need to be training a new colt. But he can't be stopped and I love the way his face lights up when Beauty gets her lesson right.

She had her first trip off the place being ground driven today. She gets her hour lesson first thing in the morning before it heats up past bearing walking behind her. The pics are of Fay and Beauty, I took her down the street before he did but Fay got to be in the pics because I haven't given him lessons on how to operate my digital camera. Not sure he wants any. I think he's going to get some though.

I put the pics up backwards, the top one is the last one as she comes back in, her head down and relaxed, the middle one shows them coming back and the first one shows them moving in a left turn.
