Yesterday dawned lovely and warm so we played hooky and headed to the barn for a ride in the sunshine. Guinness was happy to see us (and the carrots) and was lounging in his outdoor paddock when we arrived. He's such a ham in the cross-ties and his faces keep us laughing. Guinny the Goofball....
Shanna enjoyed a ride in the huge outdoor arena, both of them soaking up the sunshine. We're both excited about our lessons next week and can hardly wait to get all 3 of us into a training routine. The excitement of a schooling show is building!
But the best part of the day was when Big G's two favorite Aunties showed up to visit him later in the afternoon. "The Other Erin" and her mom were en route from California home to B.C. and they stopped by the barn for a few hours to visit the Handsome Fella. He was delighted to see them and basked in their love and affection. One of the things we dig so much about this horse is that he has a healthy sense of self-love, and there's no end to the amount of affection he's willing to both soak up and give back. Erin and Susan loved on him and he ate up every ounce of it.
We're so thankful to them for the obvious love and respect they have for Guinness, and the countless hours they spent doting on him and keeping him happy. We look forward to seeing them again soon, maybe at Guinny's first show next month!
Beautiful face photos!!
