Busy weekend!

It seems like we ran non-stop this weekend! Friday we went to redding and picked up Bailey, Jarrett's new mare, (pics further down). Saturday we drove Hannah, worked with Holly, built more fence, repaired fence (Apparently Bailey already really likes Zeta and doesn't like being away from her!), and Sunday we went and rode up at Mad River & started Bailey under saddle. 



Ground driving Hannah for the first time, she did really well after we figured each other out, she is very steady and very little spook, she tried lots of potentially scary things with little hesitation, usually only a pause to look at it. I am very happy with her!   


Over the scary bridge like a pro! 


Bailey, a 5yr old Paint/Quarter; she is a very friendly mare with lots of potential. Apparently she has only been sat on before. We turned her out in the big pasture and she ran off and on for hours enjoying herself.  


Bailey's first ride, we took it easy, did a few laps in the round pen... She crow hopped right at first but settled in and did fine after that.  


Break time 


And I have to throw in another piece of Jarrett's Leather! This is a custom bridle he just finished, the mare is a Percheron (it is still getting keepers to hold the straps down).

Next weekend should be another busy one, we actually have most of the weekend free for once so are planning to do lots of work with Hannah & Holly, do some logging with Zeta, and hopefully get some riding in too. Serina is just biding her time and finishing baking the baby, it is quite active and kicks her a lot. No major progression towards delivery signs yet so we still have a few weeks I think.
