herecirm over to visit, we took Cash out this morning with me riding and her as ground support crew and expedition photographer.
Cash helps me sort out his bridle by whiffling my face.
I think the new saddle allows him to open up his trot a little more.
He certainly seems to be going pretty nicely for where we're at riding-wise.
Seriously,herecirm is an outstanding photographer.
Approaching the stream.
When crossing a stream, it's important to taste it just in case it is delicious.
Heading up the track.
The noble steed.
Basically if we have an expedition photographer with us, we'll probably just pose the whole flippin' time.
And then have to trot to catch up.
This gives an idea of how steep the path we're going down is- normally if I'm taking pictures from horseback it kind of flattens it, but it genuinely is quite steep.
:p
Such a cute pony!

Mocha has that bit (though she's also very much a Cash type as well), and when her tough side comes out, hoo boy....that said, that look of eagles in her eyes when she put it all together at the horse show a year ago was priceless. Especially after my childhood mare who absolutely hated showing to the degree that she would slouch if I wasn't right on her. Sparkle and Zorro would have gotten along right well, very similar minds.
