First ride of the new year

Barry and I loaded up the boys, stopped at McD's for fish burgers and on to Tyrrell Park.  I got Biscuit out and a car load of people showed up and started dragging out all kinds of stuff.  Biscuit seemed very tense.  Hummmm...Kenny showed up and we talked to him.  Elan was waiting patiently for me to give him a treat.  He comes over to the trailer to wait.  He is so cute!  We saddled up and headed out.  Allison was a little tense she said.  She had got Bobby to get in the trailer and we were excited that she was going.  

Legato had a little melt down and Lee Anne walked her to the stable area and Barry and I stopped for her to get on.   We continued on into the woods.  We went down to the canal area and kept going around to the middle of the woods so that Bobby and Legato could get into a rhythm.   We walked down the "old" road and down the canal to the bridge.  We crossed the bridge and got off to clean hooves.  We went to the right of the bridge and down the other side of the canal.  We got way down there and Bobby started rearing and turning and trying to run back the way we came.  Poor Allison got off and walked him but no matter what, when she got on he was backing up, turning, flipping around.  Ugh.  Esther got on him and worked with him and then lead him.  She was finally able to mount.  We went all the way down to the ditch and then to the left and then around back to the right past the ditch.  We went all the way up to the road and crossed the little bridge on the city road (Sakara had a stopping hissy in the middle of the bridge) and then back into the park.  We went to the trail and to the left. 

I was riding behind Bobby and he lifted his leg to kick Biscuit.  What a pill.  Something fell from a tree and all the horses kinda spooked!  LOL We got back to the trailers and we all had a good time!!!  I took some pictures of Barry and Sarge and he took a picture of me and Kellie.


It was me, Barry, Kellie, Lee Anne P, Lee Anne B, Esther and her friend, Herb, and Allison.  It was a beautiful day - blue skies and just the tiniest breeze.  Can't wait for next week...I am ready to go again!
