Riding the Back Forty

My new favorite saying might be "I galloped the back 40 with this horse this morning...."  Major, Taz, and Rain have all had a run in the big fields with me.  Today we had a great big group of people here riding, visiting, taking the tour of the property, and working horses.  When I was talking with Sara this morning this was my view out the front door:

Then as the day went on we took four of the horses out to ride in the arena and cooled out with a walk around the closest field, which Owen got a photo of from his office in the house:

Then Owen snapped a second photo of us as we rode past the side of the house around to the front.

I am so relieved to be in our own place, enjoying phenomenal views and riding in big fields, teaching some lessons and working horses.  What a good life I have.
