Rivendell Ranch

He is very happy to now have a paddock mate. Caught both him and Ember laying down taking synchronized naps. ;)

Even covered in dirt he looks amazing!

Sue is happy to be out with the other girls. Ember is like..you guys go run your heads off I will just stand here and watch. I only wish I had my phone when I first put her out. It was spectacular! This was several minutes after.

Thunder is on his way to his new home. He will be spoiled rotten and will love all the attention he will get. Never even exposed to a trailer (not normal for my young ones, but it's been an odd year) yet walked in within minutes. Didn't even have another horse in the trailer. He is such a willing and smart boy! Goodbye. We will miss you.

It's been a busy morning. Horses have all been trimmed, Forrest cleared the paddocks of stumps and manure, and did some finishing touches on the flat for his shed. All before 10AM! Just waiting for hay to arrive now.

Took some photo ops since we had him out to get his feet trimmed. Thunder will be headed to his new home soon! Fuzzy little bear!

Just because we haven't spent time hanging with the ponies in a while.

Love how his mane lays with a slight curl.

I decided it was time to introduce Ember and Sue. I thought there would be a bit more excitement. Glad there wasn't, but pleasantly surprised.

Thunder's papers arrived!

Everyone received a little chiropractic work today. Hopefully we can all get back to work now.

Jocelyn's first ride on Stormy. Both did well.

Sue looks pretty good in Willow's halter too. PTO today, so worked Willow this morning. Lunged with the saddle again. I left Thunder in the paddock with Grandma Sue. Willow did really well and Thunder called quiet a bit and ran a little, but really didn't panic or get overly upset. I worked Sue as well. Lunged with side reins, then worked her under saddle at a walk. She has been tripping alot, so we are taking it slow.... Everyone seems to be moving not quite right. Which is another reason we are moving slow. The chiropractor is coming out Saturday for everyone. Hopefully that will help everyone get back on track so we can really get back to work.

I decided it was time to put a saddle back on Willow. She is such a good girl. I think she wants a job.

Some updated photos of Thunder!

Thunder had his first trim today. He did so good!

Awesome colors tonight!
