Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions for ponying(Star)
without stopping for poops. We went yesterday (I ended up using a Dually
halter) and everything went great….until we ran into 2 different flocks
of turkeys. Jack, the horse I was riding, decided he didn’t want
anything to do with them. Since we were riding on a road, going down a
hill, I gave up after the second flock appeared. Doing donuts in the middle
of a road, while ponying another horse and having cars come is not fun.
We gave up and went back up the hill, turned down another, little traveled
road. I unhooked my other horse and we headed home the back way. We
did have a great time going back with Star galloping, bucking and loving it
all. Today I am taking Jack on the same route alone to prove to him that
he won’t get eaten. It’s going to be 50 today!!!
