Visiting the Horse

Sometimes sanity comes in the form of a 950 pound bay Arabian.

Silly girl is really out of shape. She looks pretty good, though. No crest on her neck, very few fat pads — just a bit of a hay belly from not being worked enough.

I didn’t ride her — she had rain rot on her back — but I worked her a little in the ring free lunging. She’s shedding really bad too.
