I had a pretty quiet weekend. I was barn sitting for Bridget's barn owners this past weekend, and it served as a friendly reminder that driving to and from the barn multiple times a day isn't really my thing. I lose the desire to ride when I've already been at the barn a couple of times already in the day. A big part of the joy I get from the horses is just caring for them and hanging out, so I was quite content, just not riding much!

| Hanging out Saturday night with Bridget. |
Anyway, it was a pretty quiet weekend riding wise...a couple of hacks around the neighbourhood and just a little bit of remembering how to dressage in the arena. I also had a good visit with Sophie, but again very low key.

| Spring is here. Even the power line trails are looking rather epic right now. |
Our clinic next weekend was cancelled, but I think we're going to trailer Sophie in with Bridget for an outing. That might actually be more fun, since it will be Sophie's first outing of 2019 baby pony training boot camp and expectations might have been a bit high thinking a clinic was a good idea.

| She's always up for a visit! See you next week, Sophie :) |
sounds like a good time relaxing and riding some but not too much. Good luck on Sophie's field trip!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm hoping it will be a kind introduction to boot camp... away for the day, then home to her friends at night before she moves to Bridget's barn completely for the summer.
DeleteThat trail is GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd can't wait to hear about Banana-pony adventures!
It's never stuck me as being overly scenic, but this weekend it looked so great! Normally the best part about it is there is a lakeside pub at the bottom of the hill :D
DeleteSometimes low key is just perfecdt.
ReplyDeleteIm loving the ley key life right now!
DeleteGood luck with Sophie!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I might need it, lol
DeleteSometimes quiet weekends at home have me itchy to do something, other times they are absolutely what was needed. Excited for Sophie outing!
ReplyDeleteI failed at the outing. It seems i must have a bug or something...I've been exhausted for a week now. Normally I am more like you and staying quiet is torture - I'm always itching to get out and do all the things!
