Weather, Chilly. With some sprinkling rain.
Bugs, Not bothering at all now. Seems like they've all gone away for the winter.
So today we went past Pat's Tack, and I saw that they had a sale going on, and so we went back and stopped in, and they had a tent sale, and I got a hunter green with navy trim (Jessie's stable colors) polar fleece saddle pad for only 5 dollars! I checked out the website where it was from, it's out of buisness, that's why it was on clearance. But when we got home I went out to the barn and tried it out! So I caught Jessie, groomed her, tacked her up English, (Started to sprinkle then) and then played a little before we went out. I should have played with her more, but of course I was in a hurry before it started to rain real hard. So then I got on from some steps, and then rode around. Mostly walking, but some trotting. Jessie wasn't in the mood for much, and kept on slamming her head down to eat. So I'd ask her to trot, (Going downhill) and I would be all relaxed, and then out of the blue she'd stop without warning, and bring her head down really fast to eat. :-/ So then it started to sprinkle more, so I got off, put her in, played with her some more, untacked, and then played with her some more, then we just hun out in the barn waiting for the rain to stop. Molly and Glory kept on bugging us, and Glory was really moody, so I acted like what the boss of the herd would do if she were ticking that horse off. I gave her a mean look, and then if she didn't move from that I'd stomp my foot, and if That didn't work, my extra leg of a carrot stick would swing near her, and then she'd move. And Molly really wanted to be rubbed, but whenever she gave Jessie the "boss" look, I'd do the same thing as I did with Glory, and she'd come back with her ears pricked. So whenever I stopped rubbing, she'd start up with the Very Cute M&M on my arm! :-D So then I rubbed again, and it was back and forth until I played with Jessie on getting her to back up by the tail out of the barn, then I let her loose, gave her a handful of grass for a treat, then went in.
Overall it was a not so great riding, but a Fun day for hanging out with them. :-D
