Sharon, Wyatt (Sharon\u2019s grandson) and I rode Tenor and Sonny today. \u00a0Winter is over for three days. \u00a0I rode Tenor one day in December and winter freezing cold forced us to cease.<\/p>\n

We pulled into arena property. Gate was shut. Normally gate is open. We pulled in and opened and shut gate.
\nWe noticed the owners 4 horse herd had jumped over their electric rope. I knocked on owner\u2019s door and told her horses were loose. She knew. That\u2019s why gate was shut. Grandson rode Tenor while I coached and yelled at him.
\nMy turn to ride.<\/p>\n

Tenor- Mom! I hear something.
\nMe- it\u2019s the wind
\nTenor- no it\u2019s not. It\u2019s something that wants to eat me.
\nMe- pshaw
\nTenor-I\u2019m ready to run to save my life
\nMe-Why didn\u2019t that half a dead possum scare you?
\nTenor-What are you talking about? I didn\u2019t see or smell half a dead possum.
\nMe-I don\u2019t remember which leg I sling over to dismount
\nTenor-I might spin and kill you
\nMe-There\u2019s nothing in the barn aisle. We checked.<\/p>\n

Whoops! The owner\u2019s 4 horses ran thru their tiny electric wire. That\u2019s why her gate was closed. They did wander down the barn aisle,but were not there when we looked.<\/p>\n

When we opened the arena doors to leave, they were peering into the aisle. They were scared of me shooing them away.<\/p>\n

The horses were close by when we left the arena to truck and trailer to unsaddle.
\nThey followed truck and trailer to the gate.
\nSo \"\"<\/a>Sharon and grandson went to gate. They opened gate and scared the horses away with stick and string<\/p>\n

Picture is Wyatt and Sonny with me and Tenor.<\/p>\n

I rode once in December. I almost forgot how to cinch saddle. Etc.
\nwe get to ride tomorrow and then winter returns.<\/p>\n
