It was raining when I went to the barn. No riding or working in the rings because of the mud so I spent the afternoon brushing and loving on Rajiyyah and Kasane. They are both shedding their summer coats. Rajiyyah kept nuzzling me over the top of the stall door. Both Kasane and Rajiyyah have…
I have been planning all week to ride this weekend. And now the weather is calling for rain on Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday. !@#$!#$. Related Images:
