Tuesday Twos!

Took both of the munchkins out tonight!

First I let them eat in the yard then I brought Cocoa in the barn. Trimmed both front hooves and then just spent some undemanding time and grooming.
Saddled up and pulled Dixie away from the grass and headed out. It was already pretty late so we weren't able to go too terribly far away. Just headed down the back road and did some trotting. Dixie didn't want to go any faster on the gravel road...I could see she was a little 'ouchy' with her flat footedness on the hard gravel. Headed down a very treey deer path..It literally wasn't much of a trail. We had a do a lot of ducking and little detours and came out covered in pine needles. Dixie cantered sanely beside us up a hill...I was impressed. She was ride in time with Cocoa and stopped when we did. Just followed the trail..Dixie had to go behind us for most of it because the trail wasn't very wide. We made it to 233 and cantered down a really long sandy driveway..it was too tempting to resist. The neighbors mini donkey and Paint ran along their fenceling beside us! haha That was cool!

Then farther down I let Dixie go and sniff noses with all the geldings. DJ thought she was cool but I told him he was too old for Dixie! haha And he's supposed to be Cocoa's boyfriend anyways...lol

Took a little detour home...and cantered (Dixie more like galloped) up a huge hill. She was having a little too much fun! After everyone calmed down we proceeded home! I stopped at the mail box and was able to grab the mail! Pony Express is back!
