New Love

Some of the parents in the barn said "We felt sorry for you out there having to shout in the wind, dust and sun."

"You feel sorry for me?" Jill was flabbergasted. Wasn't it obvious? "I LOVE it out there! You should think I'm so lucky!"

Two white tailed bunnies crossed their path and then a blue jay and bright yellow bird passed right in front of their faces, as she hacked Farah-her-new-favourite around the farm fields. She was working up the school horses at the new academy individually and the little Apoloosa Clyde cross was the one who's spirit she most enjoyed. Although she did not stop whinnying the entire time Jill was riding. Just who on earth was she missing? ha.

The highlight of the day was finding a nice deep puddle when out their trail. The sometimes spooky, speedy, stubborn mare was very sensible stepping through it 20 times, deep part, shallow part, murky muddy etc. etc.

Pulling the girl's mane now, THAT was a different story. When the farm owner stopped in the barn Jill tried to highlight the positive and enthused on the adorable roan's ride outside.




"She's going so well. Who's been riding her?"

"EVERYone is talking about how well she's started going. I thought it was you."

"Oh, in that case it IS me." Jill was joking but also realized as she spoke it, it was true, ha.
