Redheads and Redheaded Horses!

I try really hard not to repost pictures from instagram because so many already follow me over there...but I loved this picture my trainer snapped after my lesson today.

The horse I usually ride, an Arabian, was in the process of throwing a shoe and it wouldn't come off but it was flopping around annoyingly and he couldn't be ridden. My trainer let me ride her beautiful horse, who I think is a thoroughbred. He had been shown the day before and was perfectly groomed and so sweet, lovely, and responsive. We also have the same color hair! He is the cuddliest horse I've ever met, which is an added bonus!

Barbour on the Farm

I had a few wishes for my riding gear bag - sturdy, classic, something that would match both my riding gear and my every day wear. When Barbour offered to send me this bag I knew immediately I'd be putting it to good use back and forth from work to the barn to my house. It fits everything I need for riding in it - sunscreen, my boots and clothes, my helmet, and anything else - with style and class. It's even a bit horse proof because when we brought it out onto the field the horses knew they needed to inspect it and promptly slobbered all over it.

Jess and I took a little drive out to L's farm one evening and Jess brought her camera and generously snapped these gorgeous shots of Henry and I. She is so amazing! Thanks to Jess and L for taking these pictures and lending me the farm for the evening!
