That's what it's all about


Our weather has been fabulous and Sovereign and I made the most of it today with an amazing bareback ride.  Thank you neighbor Bill for taking this photo.  I had tons of layers on even though it was in the high 50's - I'm not used to the cooler temperatures - yet. Sovey was such a good horse - I rode him on the buckle the entire time. What a horse! I did add the criss-cross throat latch back on his bitless bridle after our crazy bridle-falling-off-while-riding mix-up of the other day.


Here is a kiss between the brothers.  I am on Sovey's back taking the photo and Foggy is in the pasture.


September sunshine with my Sovey boy. Sigh.

    
Post ride apple and grass gobbling. You deserve it, sweet Sovey.  

That's what it's all about - not the Hokey Pokey.

    What a great day! I will continue to live vicariously through all my blogger friends riding their horses!

    I'm very impressed that you are riding your TB bareback. What a good horse and what a good rider you are! Looks like you enjoyed the lovely day. Dropping temperatures are hard to adjust to this time of year.

    Thanks everyone for the great comments!

    Calm, Forward, Straight - So glad you enjoyed the music - I thought you and my mom might be the only ones who would. I hope you and Val are still doing well in your hurricane recovery.

    Juliette, I'm so glad you got beautiful weather to spend with your wonderful Sovey! He was such a good horse for you. And you're right, he did deserve the apples! Lovely photo your neighbor took, also!

    Some day, I'll be brave enough to at least ride Harley in the pasture bareback. Thanks for the great posts.
