Grey Wonder Mare returns

Tomorrow, the Grey Wonder Mare™ returns after a six year absence. I’m going to babysit her for a few months for my Mom, who is in the process of moving. I have Rajiyyah’s old bridle and halter (but not her bit, which Mom is bringing). My current dressage and all purpose saddles have been fitted to Kasane, so they won’t work on Rajiyyah. Mom is bringing my old Ashley and Clark all purpose saddle — which was the same saddle I used on Prize. How funny is that? Things truly come back some times.

It will be interesting to work with Rajiyyah again after all of these years. I have learned so much from the horse community here in NC. My riding has improved a lot and my horsemanship has too. A while back when I visited Mom, I took a riding lesson on Rajiyyah. The instructor, who also used to school Rajiyyah, said that Rajiyyah really seemed to like how I ride.

It will be interesting having the Grey Wonder Mare™ back. I’m so used to my Bay Wonder Mares™ I’m not sure I’ll be able to find a gray one out in the field.

    The Bay Wonder Mare(tm) strikes again! It has been well over a month since I’ve written and a lot has happened. I baby-sat my neighbor’s horses for a month and that took up a lot of time so my posting time was greatly reduced. Let’s see… during September I started riding Isis again after we…

  • Riding Rajiyyah today

    I rode Rajiyyah today for the first time in several weeks. She was surprisingly good. Last time I rode her, the barn owner suggested that I needed to either keep constant contact with her mouth or ride on a very loose rein. After doing some ground work, we tacked up. We started on a loose…

    Another shaky cam video, but it really shows just how far Isis has come. Over the past week, I’ve been putting Isis and Kasane into the big ring together with the hope of eventually turning them out into a pasture together. We’ve turned Isis and Prize out together so they could run the length of…
