This weekend. I always knew my horse was fabulous...but he outdid himself this weekend. I threw the western saddle on him so we could just have some fun (usually ride dressage) and he just LOVED it!! We rode and rode and rode...jackhammers...jackrabbits...nail guns...saws....bikes...you name it he saw and it and didn't even FLINCH!! SO not like him...he's a spookmonster (;0

I also laid rock Saturday and finished laying the sand in the arena. I am SORE...but my suit is a bit big on me today!!!!!!! (:)

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!

Aw thanks Stel! I have quite a few names for him -- barn name: Brave...pumpkin...sweetie...angel...the list goes on (;)

I bought him as Indian's Braveheart, registered as Indian's Dreamcatcher...but I think his barn name will always be Brave....especially after yesterday (;)

ps...he even walked through the creek (without jumping it...could NOT believe it (;) -- it's dangerous if they will only jump water...depending on the trails...could be dangerous...

Thanks again!

>>I always knew my horse was fabulous

**Well of course he is!! :) Oh Mae, sounds like a wonderful time the two of you had. :) Now that's neat he didn't get spooked by things he usually does. He really must have been delighted to be out with you on a regular saddle.

>>I also laid rock Saturday and finished laying the sand in the arena. I am SORE...but my suit is a bit big on me today!!!!!!! (:)

**Wow, lots of exercise and the suit's bigger! That's fantastic news. :)

So glad you had such a good weekend Mae. Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

**Oh my yes I imagine that could be dangerous. Love the names you've given him -smile. Yes, Brave is a good one. You both did so well! :)

Hey Mae, your post was GREAT to read at this time of the morning! I can't imagine riding a horse like that, they scare me to death! Good to see you back to your old self and with time to enjoy the "fruits" of your labour! Hilary

**Well of course he's fabulous, LOL .. We even knew that

>>my suit is a bit big on me today

**Oh Yay .. looks like all that hard work *is* paying off .. woohoo for you :)
