Short but Sweet...

Wow..Could my weekend have gotten any busier? I think not. Volunteered for Business Expo. Rode with Michelle then went the 4-H meeting...all in one day!

So..I just wanted to expand on our ride a bit. I rushed home from volunteering and got Cocoa all tidied up. We just went in the bareback pad this time. Headed over and then we were off. Dixie didn't think it was fair to get left behind...but she got a bit of exercise running around! The backroad was a tad bit slippery so we just walked and trotted. Cocoa was a bit pokey and wasn't feeling on top of her game. Hmm..poor girl. We took a short cut...and Cocoa jumped some of the trees that were cut down. That was a nice treat!! We just had Dixie jump them last time we went down there. So it was fun to do a bit of jumping. Had some snowmobilers pass us...otherwise we were the only ones out there. Just as we were getting to the trails we had to turn around in order for me to make it back in time. Cocoa and Ace got to do a bit of cantering on the way home. It was fun!! Cocoa did a short bunny hopped canter. It was really nice and they cantered side by side for a ways back. Barely made it home in time for 4-H it was close but I did it!

Savvy Out,
Olivia, Cocoa, and Dixie
