Enjoy It While You Can!

You know it is a beautiful day in Arizona when you can ride for a couple of hours and Psynna only sweat a little under her saddle pad. I wasn't sweating either! Unfortunately I think this will be the last day like this for many months. We enjoyed it! We rode with Teri and her mare Jetta in Usery Park. We worked them up hills and down hills and on flat open spaces in between. I ride year round but it isn't always this pleasant.

I'm still breaking in my new saddle. It has a higher back designed to give a little more  back support. So far  so good, its a comfy ride. The creaks and squeaks that come with a new saddle are diminishing. I still ride my old saddle on Santannah and that feels like coming home!

I think Psynna is a beautiful girl. I can't believe she just turned 7 and I have had her since she was a yearling. She is  my safest ride (I can ride her out alone) but she certainly isn't perfect. She is a typical mare or as they say in horse lingo "mareish". She can be a WITCH, she can be STUBBORN, she is a KICKER when she feels threatened (horses,not people) and I have to patiently(I try to be patient) remind her of who is BOSS (thats me) occasionally. To some that might not sound so good but she is my girl and a keeper!
