Here's Trigger standing still like a good boy for the farrier. He was extremely well behaved, until he was done getting his new shoes.. then he had to show off and kick up his heels a little when I put his saddle on and went to the ring to warm up..
He is quite a little show off now that his rain rot is gone and his winter coat is going. He is all shiny and has gotten at least 2 inches taller in the past month. He needs to stop growing soon or I will have to have a ladder to get on his back!
This is what the world looks like from Trigger's back. We had a fantastic ride on Saturday after the shoeing and the showing off in the ring..
Here he is, ready to hit the trail..
... and after the ride and a bath, rolling in the dirt!
The latest NP update for the weekend: I got a $25 restaurant gift card and gave it to MM.. to thank him for all the extra stuff he does for me and Trigger (and all of us at the barn).. riding with us, showing us new trails, helping me give Trigger a shave and a haircut, etc. And I gave L a funny little card telling him he's cute. 'Cuz he is.
Today we went to Artisphere in downtown G'ville. We had lunch at the Overlook Cafe in Falls Park (mmmm, salmon sandwich! Yum-O!) and walked around looking at art for a while. Then we went to the library, and after that we came home and sat out in our yard reading for a while.
For dinner we made steak salads.. bleu cheese, walnuts, pears, with balsamic dressing and sirloin medium rare. Yum-O again.
And right now, our fridge is making some kind of weird noises. I hope nothing is broken again.
Tomorrow: back to work..
