We had some fun riding lessons yesterday, and it came up again in discussion that we now are starting to collect a bay of every breed. We have Highboy the thoroughbred bay, Billy the Quarter Horse bay, Khreed the Arabian bay, and Fergie the warmblood bay. It gets a mind to thinking.... could we put together a demonstration showing what bays of every breed are capable of?

| Discussing our bay collection |
We started by riding the two shorter horses together, practicing riding the Intro Test B as a pair.
 |
| Practicing walking together |
 |
| Then we did some trot work side-by-side. Turns are hard! |
 |
| Khreed is on the L, Joyce's new horse. I'm riding Billy on the R |
 |
| We can't ask for a more beautiful setting in which to compose our mischief! |
It was a little rough, but the horses were really well behaved. We need to do some fine-tuning to get them traveling as a unit, but if we were to add in Highboy and Fergie we would have a quadrille! I guess the next questions are: since Billy and Khreed are in western tack do we call this a western dressage pas de deux or a drill team? And once we add in the tall english horses what kind of music should we set it to? Get ready, the Bit of Honey Quadrille may headed to an arena near you!
