Lacy recently had a cough for a couple of weeks and then I got sick, so we’ve been laying pretty low on getting out on adventures, even missed out on not one but two invitations to spend a week in the saddle exploring new country.
Until yesterday. We went on a lovely morning ride with friends in search of columbines – the state flower and one of my favorites – and other beautiful wildflowers.
I had intended to take Lacy, Echo and the Shepherds. DG Griffin was having none of it and invited himself. Just hopped in the trailer and looked at me like “What are you going to do now?”
He did that a few weeks ago and accidentally found himself on his first ever cattle drive, so I figured he’d be fine on just a joy ride. Tiny really wanted to come too, but I figured 3 Mustangs and 2 dogs were enough to keep track of.
Fun was had by all. The dogs enjoyed stretching their legs and cooling off in spring water along the way. 9yo Divide Basin mare Lacy was happy to be in the lead and able to cover ground without coughing and 2yo Twin Peaks CA filly Echo (ponied) was her usual easy-going self.
Devil’s Garden yearling gelding Griffin tagged along loose and loved it, never straying far from the herd. Salt Wells WY boy Tiny was especially happy when I brought his friends back to him after our ride.
I love gentling and finding homes for wildies. Exploring and spending quality time with the Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustangs is what I look forward to whenever I can make time.
