she's impossible to capture in focus when she is in full unicorn mode
same goes for most magical critters: bigfeet, nessies, etc.

Mike and Sandi were in town briefly to load up all their stored stuff

then further north for a while longer

mule notes, mmxx-xii-xviii

fell off Cora in the arena today, no harm done
it was a quick spook I should have been able to ride
I asked her to let me back on right after
she thought about it awhile and then let me back on
and we rode back to the same spot, nice and easy
and then I got down and told her she was a good girl

PJ is a bit small for her sweet Aunt Cora but she was able to climb on this morning.

ranch notes, mmxx-xii-ix




the mares were all out when I pulled into the ranch today
Cora separated herself from the group to spend some time with me
she knows she can hang out with the girls whenever but I'm only there a little while
