August Horseback Riding 2008
Sasha decides to half-lease Sebastian to Maggie for a few months in the summer. |
|
|
|
 |
August 1, 2008
Sebastian sticks his head out of the window in his stall.
| |
|
|
|
 |
August 1, 2008
Maggie rides Sebastian for the first time.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Wow, she's got long cool hair!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
That's her Mom's horse Eddie in the background. He's 27 years old.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
So her Mom half-leased Sebastian to give Maggie more practice.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Maggie takes riding lessons from the Farm Owner Gretchen.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Maggie and Sebastian will get to know each other real good!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha will warm him up with a canter for Maggie to try.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
It's a beautiful day up at the farm.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha and Sebastian are beautiful together too.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha riding in sneakers today. Doh!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Is it harder to keep your heels down Sasha with sneakers on I wonder? Hmmm.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Look at my heels... they are way down!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
We stay until the sun goes down...
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha's Mom rides in the dark too!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
It's much cooler but alot more mosquitoes!
| |
|
|
|
 |
August 5, 2008 It's Sasha's 16th Birthday!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
We all help Molly so things will run smooth.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Molly plays and awesome Pocohontas!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Wardrobe change.

|
The corn is so high!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
We even get Sasha to play a small part in the Photo shoot.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Now if we could just get Sebastian to cooperate.
| |
|
|
|
 |
August 10, 2008 I set out on my trail ride to Mr. Mike's in South Ash.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
I ride down a busy road.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
We even canter too!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
It's 3 miles to Mr. Mike's and we trot most of the way and get there in 30 minutes.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Woohoo! I made it to Mr. Mike's!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha holds him for a minute before she gets ready to ride him back.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Mr. Mike's, Sasha & Sebastian
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
It's not every day you see a horse at the gas station.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
I walk with her down the main road for a bit.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
She passes by a church on this beautiful Sunday morning.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Kids on bikes, and a guy in a jeep, Sebastian remains cool.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
It's a nice ride home for Sasha.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian will ride 6 miles in an hour alone out on a busy road for a nice trail ride.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
I guess it's not really a trail ride since we rode on the street.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian is making good use of those shoes we put on him, they sound so cool on the pavement.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
I like this scenic shot on the way home.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
What a great way to spend a lovely summer morn.
| |
|
|
|
 |
August 18, 2008 Sasha rides Sebastian in the outdoor arena
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Her mom can ride even in a skirt!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
She helps me fix my stirrups.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha and I double around the cornfield.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian is such a good horse. That's why we love him so much!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha points out where the deer lay down.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
We really like doubling together it's so much fun!
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha hoses Sebastian down.
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
They are so cute together!
