First Ride of the Season on Kota!

I finally got Kota's saddle back from the saddle shop.  It needed a several items fixed before I rode him with it.  I wanted our first day back in the saddle to be stress free. I saddled him up and he gave a big heave when I tightened the saddle.  After about 10 minutes of lundging  I climbed on and we mostly walked, turned and trotted for about 15 minutes.  I then rode him back to the house and down the short cut about 20 feet turned around and called it a success! Megan is coming for a visit on June 13 and Yenta Clydesdale is having a picnic and I want Kota ready to follow Beau and Megan for the pre-ride.  

OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE!

First Drive of the Season with Beau!

It felt so good to finally get Beau out in his cart.  It's been too long! It was a perfect day with my good boy.  We didn't go to far for our first jaunt, he's alittle out of shape since he had the entire winter off, so we only went around 2 miles. 

This is the dirt road that leads to our home, it's a great for a quick drive.

Front Shoes for Kota!

 Kota was such a good boy and let mommy put shoes on the front. It seems like dream remembering back when I first bought him and he didn't want anything to do with me and he certainly didn't appreciate me trying to pick up his feet. He's becoming quite a gentleman, he still has some rough edges we are trying to smooth out, but what a love bug.

 I mean really...look at that face!

I often wonder what they are thinking..."Ok enough with the pictures...where's my carrotts?"
