These are the girls who have been helping me all summer as my working students. Their reward was to be taken to a show where THEY could compete! Many ribbons were won this past weekend, and we had a blast. I'm making "rabbit ears" over Yeller's head, for those who are wondering why I look like such a goof.
Yeller may be 24, but he's still the master show horse. And shiny, too.
This was a day for schoolmasters - Cole rode western and was a champ.
Me on Skipper, a 4 year old client horse I've trained. We went to Soapstone with Bethnie and Missy, rode about 10 miles, saw many many little lizards, baby antelope, and a coyote. These horses were AWESOME.

I love trailriding!

When Whitney and Jan (my childhood best friend and her husband) came to visit we attempted a perfect day: including hiking, lunch at a favorite Italian restaurant, and ice cream at a favorite local place. We hiked at Red Mountain Open Space, and we saw bunnies, antelope, and of course lots of free range cattle.

This is why they call it Red Mountain
