With Friends!

Polly has not been going along on our park rides. To get there, we’ve had to go down the highway on a narrow shoulder. I am not comfortable walking two horses down that!

But the highway walk is not popular with my riding partner. This weekend, we hauled all three ponies a few minutes down the road into the park.

Polly gets a gold star for loading up with minimal hesitation, despite this being her first trailer ride since we brought her home last July. Well this is weird and some pawing. Acceptable starting point.

And then I got on Fetti, picked up Polly, and proceeded to swear colorfully for most of the ride as both ponies went diving for grass despite all my best efforts.

Is green. Must be edible.

The good: we did manage some 30-second intervals of noses and hooves all going in the correct direction. Also, ponies were polite and generally civilized.

The bad: aforementioned constant diving for grass. Also, I was riding bareback and in slippery leggings. This was not my smartest decision ever.

The good again: ponies all loaded up politely on the way home.

Overall, calling it a win!
