First solo ride of the season

Today was gorgeous. Sunny and with just a teeny bite in the air. Perfect riding weather. Since this year Cheyenne turns 5, she will be my focus. Lots of miles on this little 'big' girl. So we started today. First we had a little pre-ride snack.


Then we investigated the cool mounting block mom got at Ikea. (we have one in the trailer too) Cheyenne thinks it would make a nice hat.


On the trail, we discovered there was still snow in many areas...but luckily where we were riding it was pretty clear. The woods looked so amazing...it had been months (November) since we'd been back there riding. Didn't realize how much I missed it.


When we got back...Cheech really 'thought' she deserved another snack. She helped herself to some hay. (that area is where we store it) Notice how the other horses are like "You're not supposed to DO that!" It was fun getting her turned around...I even made the beep beep sound that big vehicles make when they back up. hee hee
