Doozy naturally got a couple days off after her fantastic weekend at the Area II Champs, especially after all that trailering oof! But life goes on, and we got back to it with a lovely evening hack with a barn buddy!
 |
| the days are noticeably shorter by now, with unmistakeable color changes in the landscape |
 |
| especially out in the big hay fields! |
 |
| i really love and am grateful for how pleasant doozy is for this simple hacking routine |
 |
| often we end up alone, but the horses seem to love having company! and the riders too, natch |
 |
| there are apparently other (and longer) trail routes, but i actually quite like our little routine circuit |
 |
| doozy is a very bold horse, but she’s also a typical thoroughbred — she likes knowing the answers in advance |
 |
| so i think she appreciates this predictable path. no surprises, no work. just… marchin around lol |
 |
| i’ll be sad when the clocks change, tho |
 |
| especially given that our outdoor arena doesn’t have lights, it’ll be hard to prioritize hacking on weekends when we might otherwise be itching to school outside |
 |
| there’s still time, tho. so for now, we take advantage of the daylight hours when we can! |
 |
| “yes yes that’s very nice and all, but #NeedsMoarCookiesPls” — doozy, 100% |
Good mare! Having a pleasantly hacking horse is honestly one of my number one priorities in a partner.
ReplyDeleteAgreed 1,000% !! I’d take it a step further tho and say that fundamentally my horse just needs to be downright pleasant to spend time with <3
DeleteLook at those fall colours! I'm dreaaaaddding the clocks changing as well
ReplyDeleteBarn buddy hacks are good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that trail looks so inviting.
