I live on the edge of my family farm that for generations has been the venue for riding horses, dating back to my greatgrandfather who was the first master of the local Hunt Club. It is now where I enjoy riding and training my horses. This blog is now the story of Hokey Pokey, my Gypsy cob cross bred pony.

shadows
Last night as the evening light faded I took Diego for a small farm ride with the dog running ahead chasing the bugs up off the grass.Our shadow horse trotted along side keeping us company.
The Shadow Rider is my favorite partner, most times! Your shadow steed is handsome!
Have you ever seen my video? Shadow rider galloping on the beach? It's so funny! I think it's on the bottom of my blog..and I think, if you hit one video..it'll allow you to any of them.
How is that Diego doing?? Have you decided on a saddle direction? I meant to get a cool pamphlet or you on the ANSUR saddles like I got at the Washingtim Expo. I did not make it to the Oregon Expo to get one. I will write for one for you, neat info.(was pricing my tack that day) Love the HORSE in the headewr...I still cant believe they are growing up this fast!
Better yet! Go to You Tube, search ALLHORSESTUFF you'll get all of them-right therre-for you viewing pleasure(or boredom!) I recommend Cattle drive/Dec Rolling frenzy/Treat talk Have fun! The What can it be now...I shaved her whiskers off..it was so sad!! She had no idea where her face was -it took me over an hour, before she'd eat anythig!
Cheyenne ....sorry just about wet my pants laughing at your comment. Didn't help that my friend and I have just drunk far too much wine.......wont say yay or nay about talking to the other horse (shadow).....you'll have to come to NZ to find out that one!
Yes fernvalley it was a lovely ride. We are having the perfect Indian summer. Sun shine and balmy days although the nights are cold. Kacey - I have seen your shadow video clips. Your Wa mare creates the most beautiful shadow horse .....Diego is going great. We have lots to work on but he is fantastic to ride out by himself which Is important for the type of riding I do during week days. I need to know that my horse is good in traffic, good with hundreds of sheep darting down from hiding spots on hills .....good with young heifers running up behind.....and then of course there is the crazy lab Crockett!!!! I will have to look into your saddle more. I have't yet. Have you got yours yet? RR - yes the old shadow can play funny mind games with some horses ....or even better the reflection in the window gets a better response!

That shadow horse can be a killer. I've seen horses spook at that funny looking shadow when there's a rider on it's back.
