This week on Tuesday I got to ride again. I rode Ginger for the first time. She is really good under saddle. I love to ride out with everyone even though it's the same every time we ride. Normally I have to stay back the ranch in case something happens while everyone is riding. But sometimes Pat is there so he'll stay behind. Ginger is definitely the most respectful of the three under saddle. I included pictures of our ride in the post.
Thursday we had an evening ride. I arrive at 1:30 and start mucking the stalls. Then we pull out horses, groom them as normal, and saddle them. The people arrive and go out around 3:30 or so. I stay behind and give the horses twice as much hay since it's evening and watch the sunset from the ranch. It's so gorgeous down there. I see a lot of color when I ride the Polaris back from watering the cows. I can only imagine how beautiful it is on the vent. When they get back, I strip the saddles off them as usual and groom. No showers at night (it can sometimes get chilly and we couldn't see well enough to give them showers anyway.)
