I went to turn out Cora today and discovered she had already let herself out. Her paddock mate Scud was still standing in the paddock, next to the open gate. You could almost hear him saying
"You're gonna get us in trouble!"
(I was in their paddock earlier; I must not have fastened the gate properly. I hope.)

we didn't have much time today (still trying to catch up after last week's rain) so I just turned Cora out and we hung out a while

We got to ride a little today - first time in a couple weeks since it's been so muddy.
Cora didn't see much point in going in circles in the round pen when she could just as well stand there while I rubbed her neck and mane, but she eventually got tired of me nudging her with my heels and consented to stroll about a bit.

critter notes, mmxviii-ix-xiii
not only can these guys lull you to sleep with their buzzing on a hot afternoon,
they're also wildly telepathic
(they're harmless but boy can they grip with those claws)

short session in the round pen - it was fun to watch her watching the dogs chasing lizards
(she is not a fan of dogs)
