Rain

Yesterday, I played with all of the horses in between rain showers. It was so much fun! First, Scout and I went in the outdoor and played for a nice long time, but every 10 minutes or so, we would have to canter back inside because I could see these rain bands coming in. It was actually really cool. The woods, about a mile or so from us, would become obscure and just turn white. I knew it was time to start heading in because then the rain would come over the field and it would downpour. But, Scout and I had a blast! We did a few figure eight patterns and then he just wanted to canter. lol! So I let him get his energy out before we went for our liberty walk. Those are so much fun and Scout just loves them! He'll just walk beside me all the way around the track and then we race up the last side. :-) How fun!

I let Diesel in the outdoor with us and the 'little boys' ran around together. It was so funny and Diesel was so spunky! I would have gotten some video of it, but like I said, it was raining and I don't want our camera to get ruined. Anyways, after Diesel and Scout ran around for a while, I put them back in their paddocks until it was time for them to go back out.

Next was Eddie!! We played in the outdoor too and he was SO hyper! Well... I guess they all were hyper yesterday. It was cool, windy and cloudy - super scary weather for them. Ah well. Eddie and I did some fun things together, went for a walk and ran inside countless times to avoid a downpour. Although Eddie didn't mind, we had fun nonetheless! We went back into the outdoor after we went for a walk and I let him kick up his heels. He would buck, and then rear and then 'turn'n'burn' and hop completely off of the ground. 0_0 I just stayed out of his way and he finally settled down. It was fun though, and he really enjoyed the run around time!
Oh yeah! And I also started working on mounting while Eddie is moving! I did it at a walk and was able to get on, so I'll have to practice that some more. 
I know this is a long shot, but someday I want to be able to do this! :-)

Isaiah 40:31

But those who wait on the LORD
      Shall renew their strength;
      They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
      They shall run and not be weary,
      They shall walk and not faint.
