Travelog post for: Pea

Today I got to go and visit my hoo-mans horses! She has two - Ace and Jesse. They are both very nice critters. This afternoon, hoo-man rode Ace and she let me sit on him too!

Ace is an American Quarter horse that specializes in reining. Thats a form of western riding where the horse and rider get judged on their ability to ride through a pattern with certain required maneuvers. Some of those maneuvers are galloping circles, running fast and doing a sliding stop (This is my favorite - the horses back legs slide through the dirt, like when you where socks on hardwood floor) and spinning.

Hoo-man and Ace compete in horse shows in the summer. So right now - they have some time off. Ace has gotten fat and furry in the past couple of months!

Here are some pictures of me sitting on him:





Here is a picture of me in the horse treat bucket! They get these horse "cookies" after each ride. Hoo-man sneaks some to her boys other times though. He he he


This is where they keep all the saddles!


This is a picture of me with Ace's blanket. Horses get to where clothes like me! Ace is very stylish because he gets a pink one.
