Sandridge State Forrest


They had a wonderful time at Sandridge. They rode last night in the pouring down rain but after the ride were still able to have a campfire and cooked pork chops and turkey dogs over it. I posted a picture of the campfire. All the rest of the pictures I place on our website on the Friesian fun page. Karin told me that Izadora is now the best horse we have, she is so balanced and light on her feet. The kids played hide and seek on horseback and they were galloping between the trees and no one could catch Karin on Izadora. Nice to hear, I guess I'd better take her off our sale page. Rhoda said they decided to race on one of the fire lanes and Mika won that race, he is our fastest horse now that Grace is gone but he comes by it honestly, Grace was his mom. Bunni was perfect for Sarah. It was a good thing for Sarah to ride her, Bunni had been ridden by too many beginners and was starting some bad habits like trying to put her head down to eat on the trails. It was good to have Sarah do a little schooling on her to bring her back to beginner safe. Rebekah had to ride her pony Cindy, not the fastest pony but she probably is the cutest. Rachel rode her Haflinger, Sunny (the gorgeous one) and he is doing so well we will probably not be afraid to put beginners on him soon. Paris and Jessica are a perfect match, Jessica is so delicate and Paris loves her and pays attention to her. Karin put Caleb on Larry. Larry is owned by the Davidovics and is the best trained horse of the bunch. He does walk canter departs that are fabulous. Anni did well with Duke, Duke is a good size pony and can be quick, Anni is great with him. They had a wonderful breakfast cooked over the camp fire of brown country fresh scrambled cheese eggs, sausage, bacon, coffee cake, fresh squeezed orange juice and of course coffee. It was cool this morning, great riding weather and they all had so much fun! We are glad they are home safe.
