These are pictures from Christmas break....bear with me, there are a lot of them! But, I did downsize them to ~100 kb, so shouldn't upload slowly.
Ok, ok I lied, some of them are from Thanksgiving break--you know, the ones that I lost...well, I found them(most, anyway).
Julie is usually very careful not to let humans 'hug' her or in any way threaten her escape route(we think she was messed up by previous owners)...so this was a big step for her! She was very excited to see me home!
Dan, before the rains came and he looked like a mudball! The pictures of Pippin didn't really turn out that well...so no pics of the now 2 yr old! Oh well...actually, the pictures that did turn out are of a nose, or a couple of hooves, or a bunch of mane--not exactly what I want to show you!
And Fascination, first, in my soft collar and reindeer antlers, with a good friend's sleigh bells on! This was for our Christmas Drive.
Then, Fascination in her new carriage(Jerald A that we have been using for three years, but were borrowing), with her new leg wraps on! They are mostly show/fun wraps, but do provide minimal protection and stay well. She looked a bit like a poodle!
Working on our lengthened walk:
Just cruising!
And working on our trot work..relaxing and stretching that upper neck down to the bit. I took it easy, but she came back right away to where we had left off.
Of course, I had to get out Ref and 'torture' her too...so I rode her! She got nice new no-turn bellboots for Christmas! She really prefers driving, but allows riding(eew). I think I was looking down at my new gloves for some reason...wierd, but anyway:
I have more, but it is all of Gabriel, so shall leave that for the next post. As you can see, I really enjoyed working with the horses this break!
