A Ride in the Forest

Jean Krause took us on a lovely trail ride yesterday. She runs Heavenly Hilltop Stables, and heavenly it is up on top of the hill opposite my farm. I rode a mare, Shoshanna, who has a three month foal by her side at all times. I've never sat atop a horse while it was being nursed before. Luke rode a three year old Palomino gelding, who was a bit feisty at first. Jean stayed with him for the ride to make sure Luke was okay. Hannah, the natural rider, is right at home on a horse. I'm going to take her back to Jean so the two of them can ride through forest and fields unemcumbered by little brother and grandmother.
