Oh Marsha I sure hope you can do the parade. You have worked so hard on it. I think we all are excited for you to show off your covered wagon. the weather corporates.

 

[Marsha Cassada]

My sister and other horse friend have decided to cancel. I will wait till closer to time before deciding.

 

[MaryFlora]

It’s hard to put in all of the prep work and not go but you and Dapper Dan should be able to enjoy the day also.

Rocko was trying to eat grass and had himself a tantrum when I said no you may not, on today's drive.
When we got back he got a bath and a clip. I was thinking he doesn't want to work in the heat but he didn't even break a sweat!

My nephew was visiting with his new wife so I hitched Annie to give her a ride. She giggled pretty much the whole time, which might have been nerves.

 

[Marn4]

Marsha, I felt like an *****, not least because I let the lines go slack and she sure had a head of steam when she hit the end of the line. She didn’t seem to panic, just feeling good heading home in a brisk cool wind and sunny day. Learning is forever!

Yep, she is an independent thinker, Kelly! Wow! You and Stormy are really adding up those miles and doing it together, at the same time!

We are always learning! So glad it is all good and everyone was safe!!!

It was some long days, but so much to look at that the time really flew. Well and the first day was pretty exciting for Rocket so lots to keep the mind occupied that day..LOL!

 

[Marn4]

Great job everyone, this group is so inspiring and so kind! Rocket has had a light week, we did groundwork and had some fun over the weekend and finally drove again, a short hack and a dressage lesson

I promise to get hours caught up soon. We sold our house before the new one is built and are in a mad scramble. Happy driving!

Don't worry about a thing. It's all just for fun anyway! We got in a situation like that and ended up living in our RV on our new property for 7 months until we could get a final certificate of occupancy!
Sounds like a busy but fun summer for you!

*My friend came out and drove Annie with me and Rocko. Some of that time was sitting and chatting in the cart. Sure makes working on the stand a lot more fun!

I set up a cones course so we have been having fun timing each other and trying to beat our own times, because there is no way Rocko will ever beat Annie!

Not that we are looking to win a race or anything but we did a 16 minute mile today! Mostly trotting along with some cantering. I think that is our fastest mile so far and pretty good for such a tiny SLOW little horse, what do you think? How long does it take you to drive your horse a mile? What’s your fastest and slowest mile?
