It was a true miracle. All the factors for a horse back ride with friends came together not once, but twice this week! The weather even cooperated. Nicole was a tad bit annoyed that I was riding while she was in school. She suggested that I could pull her out of school to join us. I momentarily considered it, but good sense won out!
She did get to ride in the round pen on my friend Candi's 3 year old gelding Quarter Horse. It was cool for her to get to ride him as he was born on her birthday 3 years ago. When you're a horse-crazy kid, that's an exciting event! I rode him also and I lead Morgan on him. We were the first people, besides Candi, to ever ride him. He was a perfect gentleman. (He also happens to be for sale, in case anyone you know is looking for a nice horse!)

Ride #1 was on Wednesday. Marilyn, Candi and I went for a 2 hour ride (with dogs in tow!). Ride #2 was on Friday with Marilyn, Sheila and Aurelia (Sheila's daughter) for another 2 hour ride. When Nicole got off the bus, she and I went out for another hour. I even got a little sunburn
and I'm not sore--another miracle! Oh, life is good!

Thanks for the advertising! I'll give you a cut if I see him :) I was SO excited to see you and Nicole ride Nifty. He really did impress me and Nicole was all smiles. Cute pictures!
