Andrea and Apollo are new in the barn, and we're so excited to have them join us at Bit of Honey! Apollo fits right in with my bay thoroughbred color scheme, and since Andrea is a fellow eventer we're expecting a bunch of fun times ahead on both long trail rides and at competitions.
I rode Highboy while Kim H. was taking photographs, so we got some fun shots of him actually jumping like a calm creature. Because he was well-behaved, I allowed him to do some larger fences. It's amazing what happens when this horse is riding quietly. I get easy lead changes over the fences, it's nearly effortless to find a good distance, and the photos look so much better!
Even though they rode with us today, not pictured (because our photographer was riding) are Joan and June, Sara and Dewey, Kim H. on Rain, and my ride on Raven. We all had a great day, and just enjoyed riding around the ranch on a weekend where we didn't have to go to any shows.
