>>> Great pics, Karen! They both looked like they had fun! And Svertla looks FANTASTIC in hot pink!!!
Thanks, Susan. I'm so glad that Cary is interested in the horses too. I hope he keeps it up. I'm glad he rides now, but I'm really glad he has started wanting to participate in the whole deal. There were a couple of times yesterday when he wanted to pull on her, rather than let her take her time and do things at her own pace, but with a few reminders, he let up on being so goal-oriented. I think that's hard for a lot of us humans to do. I know it was hard for me for the longest time, and I STILL lapse occasionally. Taking the pictures is good for both of us. It's amazing what you see yourself do in pictures that you aren't aware that you're doing. >>> BTW, I didn't know you were old moonshiners! That looked like part of an old still in your woods. HA! Now the secret's out! That's some sort of industrial silo that my dad got to collect the shavings from his wood-working hobby shop. He got sick and died before he got it installed. A few years ago, when we were settling and selling some of his old equipment, Cary got the bright idea to put it on the trail as a de-spooking obstacle, since it's pretty odd looking, because by that time it was too rusty to be useful in many applications. I haven't seen an Icelandic be very worried about it though - maybe they are used to running up on old stills! When a tree falls on the trail, my instinct is to remove it. Not Cary. He usually cuts a new path around the log, so that people can choose to walk or jump over, or go around. I think it's good for the horses to accept doing it any way.
