Any "camping out" in the house on a weekend in the future?

 

[promiseacres]

That's a good idea. @Baymule
We are only 8 miles from the new place so isn't bad.

Riding in a friend’s fields. Wasn’t without hiccups but all stayed on and nothing too major that riding more won’t cure.

Just look at that thousand watt smile! What great memories you are making for your kids. You are a great Mom!

Felt like a pretty bad Mom when Daisy took off at a trot with Jocelyn towards the trailer.... across the road and up the drive.... then went in a lope... Jocelyn just hanging on at that point and I couldn't catch up as I had Kinzey in her buddy seat behind me... then the silly horse stood there and neighed at us because she was alone... but Jocelyn wasn't too scared and it wasn't a busy road.... but we have more work to do if she is going to ride Daisy much. John however did super well on our friends pony and was complimented by her on how quiet he rode. As pony doesn't get along with all kids. Heart stopping but we are fine,

That is rather mild compared to my early horse adventures. I fell off, got stepped on, got kicked, got thrown off......and I went back for more? LOL

It is scary to be on a runaway horse. I am glad that it all came out ok and she wasn't hurt. I've got a 2 year old grand daughter that looks to be as animal crazy as her Mamaw……..

@Baymule i personally have had a lot worse too.. just from my perspective made my heart stop... will make some adjustments and work with Daisy more myself so she isn’t so willing to do her own thing...I guess expect the unexpected with kids and horses. Jocelyn has a good lesson too. It honestly just looked like she was in full control just was heading to the barn on her own. Hard to even call it a runaway but that’s what was.

Explored more last night... got a lot of clean up... the main pastures look like this... wish we could burn it but it would probable get out of control. We found more fence lines and will be getting the old fence and posts pulled asap so we can start mowing and getting it under control.
