Jetta and the Birthday Party

It was a busy day, but more than half of it involved horses so I call that a good day! I spent the morning at my regular job at the school, then I headed out in the afternoon to trim three horses at a boarding facility 45 minutes north of here, then I came home and loaded up Jetta and Keno and went to the arena. After riding Jetta and practicing the suppling exercises we learned in our lesson on Tuesday (which she did very well with), I loaded them up again and headed out for a trail ride. Today is Keno's 15th birthday, so we needed to celebrate! I rode Keno and ponied Jetta around a hilly loop in Dog Valley. It was a great way to celebrate the wonderful gift he has been since coming into my life more than ten years ago. He's a great horse--fun, willing, capable, and just a total solid guy with a (mostly!) good attitude. I love that quirky boy! Thank you, Keno, for being such a great guy! And thanks for being on the job with the greenies we've been training!

Jetta was pretty good at the arena, and she ponied easily on the trail. She's a nice girl, too. I feel very lucky to have them.
