Weekend Play!

Saturday! Happy Birthday to me!!!! I went to MaryAnn's for coffee. I just love our coffee dates. I was a little sad because Cam didn't remember. Oh well. I knew I would be out at the farm tomorrow for our playday and my Jiggies would remember!

Maryanne and the girls gave me PURPLE REINS FOR MY JIGGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!! WATCH OUT HERD! HE WILL BE STYLIN!!! I was in awe! Ali gave me a magnificent pair of earings that she tatted. They are beautiful. I am going to buy a new outfit for them! I will be her advertisment. Jiggies can't get ahold of these!!! Then in the afternoon, Keith went shopping. I got a riding helmet!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Jiggles get ready! It was wonderful.

Sunday June 28 was the first playday I have been able to get to. It was a two for one so Lea came with me! What a great day. We played continuously from about 9:30-3:30 with a short break for lunch!

Lea is such a master. She played with Suede who is a love. Jiggies and Suede are in the pasture together so it worked out great. It was 50 mile an hour winds but we played on!!! There were tons of obsticals, water obsticals, jumping, tarps, trailer. You name it. Deb does a great job at these they are worth every penny for me!

The best part was this!!!!!!!!!!!









After years of not riding (about 5 actually) I took the time it takes!!! I felt comfortable getting on Jiggies with his stylin reins and my happenin helmet! He did look at me kind of funny! YOUR GOING TO DO WHAT????? WHERE IS THE 50 LB WEIGHT DROP?? Hee Hee...we did great. I only stayed on for a bit and all involved were happy with the progress. I couldn't have done this without Deb and Lea! Thanks so much you guys. I love ya!

See you later buddy. I love you!

WOW!!!!!

After a week of not seeing my baby, Yikes!!!!! I got to the barn around 6:45p and he was way down munching. SHOCKER! I called him and he said, "hmmf" and kept eating. So I stood at the top of the pasture and talked to the herd.

Well of course curiosity got the best of him. He slauntered up to see me. He was on Hyperalert! I could tell. I took it easy he followed to the gate and was very willing. I left the halter on the mounting block so I just had my Savvy string. I put it around his neck and led him out for some munching.

There were many people at the barn. There were several riding in and out of the front arena, one in the indoor arena and the horses in the pasture were a bit vocal. The weather was prime.

Well, Jiggies spooked and that was all it took. He was a RB mover for about 20 minutes. Within that time every person outside was stopped in their tracks watching the spectical. He was really spectacular! He was running balls out around the outside of his pasture so much so that every horse in the pasture was running balls out with him. It was wild!

eeeeeeeeeeekkkk! "I can't get in guys!!!!!! Something out here is going to get me!!!"

He ran and ran. Then he stopped to munch. At that point several people came back to ask if I needed help getting him. I said no, he is just RB he needs to run it off. He was awesome tho. Someone blocked off the entrance to the back and I grabbed the gate he had gone thru earlier and closed it. I just let him run it out. As he stopped I played the "I'm gonna get your hiney" game and off he'd go.

Then the owners sister came back and had told her I may need some help. I explained he was just goofy. She watched him and commented he looked awesome. He floated at times. She was amazed. I thought, how the heck can this horse now having run for almost 45 minutes, one, keep going and keep going with that belly he has!!!

Finally, he stopped to graze and I went over stuck my hand out and he must have decided he had enough. I haltered him and off we went. He was all over me though most of the night. Bugs were thick and he was itchy. We did alot of circling game and falling leaf backwards. Friendly game and hide the hiney.

I will try again Thursday. Whew! The work out for me was actually standing there watching him!!! But he had to get it out! Wonder what Pat would have said to that!!?

An awesome day

Sunday the last day of May. What a beautiful day it was. A little cool but very warm! Jiggies came all the way up from the back of the pasture when I called him. I was excited. We had a great day playing. I loved on him a bit more than I should have but hey, I haven't seen him in forever! I missed my boy. See you in a few days sweetie. I love you.
