Ruby and I went for another short walk today. I tried to get a picture of her happy face while we walked to the barnyard gate, but succeeded in only getting blurry half-pics of her left eye. I had slightly more success on the road.

We walked quietly passed the crazy horses at the stop sign, with Ruby giving them occasional ugly looks as she tried to convey that she didn't
want to be their friend, thank you. We walked maybe a quarter mile before turning around. These walks are partly to toughen her feet a bit after all the rain we've had, and partly to re-lay the foundation for future solo rides. Then, on our way back, Ruby spotted this:

I noticed she showed a marked preference for this weed last year. Then I realized that whenever we'd go by it on the trail, she would glance at it...her polite way of asking to have a bite. Interesting the things you notice when you get to know a horse.

By the time we got back, the barn was starting to get busy with the afternooners. Ruby got to graze in the barnyard, while the stalled horses yearned to go out and the pastured horses yearned to come in - yes, she is totally spoiled and she loves it.
Tomorrow we ride. Kinda.
