A Trip to Jubilee

Rhoda and Emily decided to take the 2 new mares to Jubilee for a trail ride. Before this Anna had all of 3 rides ever in her life and Misty just got here 3 days ago. Emily doesn't have any tack to fit her so just took her with a bareback pad. Both mares were very well behaved. Anna actually led the way, amazing for her 4th ride ever. Both mares loaded and unloaded into the side door of the trailer with no problem at all. Below are a few pictures of their ride.

 I asked them to stop and pose for a picture before they started the trails.

 and off they go, below is the first fallen log crossing both mares did this just fine.

 Emily and Misty getting ready to jump the log. The first jump Misty did was quite a bit bigger than she needed to jump so Emily asked her to do it again. This time she cleared it nicely without over jumping.

Anna has just been a delightful mare for us and Misty has been so much fun for Emily the 3 days she has been here. We will video tape her riding and driving as soon as we get a saddle to fit her.
