Weather, Cool. Mostly cloudy.
Bugs, Not bad at all.
So today I played with Jessie a little bit at Liberty before the hay came. I mostly just did some turns, and backup by the tail, then the hay comes... I go over and look at it... Its ALL WARM, WET, AND MOLDY. O_O So after searching though the bales, only little parts of each bale were dry. So while we wait so the guy can take it back, I catch Jessie, groom her, then get on from the stump and rode around bareback for awhile. It took some work to get out out in the back part of the front pasture, but we got there, and we wandered around. Mostly walking, but some trotting, then we go back, and we worked on getting her to stop by letting my "life" down. It turned out Ok. So then I had to get off for a min to help put hay back on the wagon, then I got on again, then had to get off for something else, so I decided that I'd try getting on from the ground... Didn't work exactly. So I got a feed bucket. That was much of an advantage because I'm tall as it is, and adding a bucket that is fairly tall is really cheating, so instead of hopping on, I kept putting my right leg up and down, up and down, and then after Jessie got used to that, I put my leg all the way over, and my knee was touching my face. So then I grabbed a hold of the mane, and swung on. All the while Glory was bugging us. So then after riding around a little bit, the hay guy came, and I had taken the halter off of Jessie so we were B&B. So then I had to put Molly in so the hay guy could go around the front instead of trying to back out. So after I put Molly back in, I drew Jessie in, and I got on again, and we rode around for another couple of hours, mostly walking, but with some trotting, then I got off, gave Jessie a treat, but everything back, then went in. I figured I was riding for a good 3-4 hours! :-D Later on I came back out, did chores, said goodnight, then went in.
Overall it was a Great day! :-D
