November rides
This October and November have been one of the rainiest times in Texas history. This presents a challenge to the barn buddies and the people who groom the horses for their assignments in the ring. Some of the horses led into the stalls are fresh from a roll in the pasture. One day, the horse was so dirty, he received a bath before we could groom him. Each horse has a personality, just like we do. One horse in our class always wants to be the leader. One prefers to follow. That means the other two in the class get to take pot luck. Sometimes the supervisor allows a ride outside the ring. Quite refreshing for the riders, helpers, and horses. All seem to love the beautiful days with changing leaf colors and cool breezes.
