Does not pay to bathe!

A couple weekends ago I bought some QuicSilver

shampoo made for light colored Equines.

So Tonight I thought I would try it on Libby's tail.

Here she is after her tail washing and a lot of brushing.

This will be about the only time I will 

get Hubby and Libby together.

I also washed her mane.

So I asked Hubby to take my picture with my horse! LOL

Libby was co-operating nicely.

Until I asked her for a kiss!

She just would not come up to my height!

Of course soon as I took her halter off,

SHE ROLLED!

Hubby was working the camera 

and thought he was recording!

NOPE!

Would of been a good one too,

because she rolled and rolled and rolled!

Had to get all that clean hair DIRTY!

This past Saturday,

I finally realized my dream!

Libby and I went on our first 

Full out TRAIL RIDE

along the COLUMBIA RIVER!

No I did not take my camera!

No I do not have pics of me riding!

Someday I will get a hold of someone with a camera!

It was about a 2 mile ride.

Through sagebrush, sand, uphill and down hills.

Libby was getting pretty tired of walking in the deep sand.

She got a bit pissy at one point, but she

settled back down and decided to continue on.

I had taken my cell phone, and at one point during the ride,

it went off!

And Libby TOOK OFF!

But I got her stopped in TWO STEPS!

She had heard my phone before, but never from the saddle!

She was such a good girl about it.

When we headed for home,

SHE KNEW IT!

Even though it was a different trail.

She wasted no time in covering ground.

We did a few lot of circling the sage brush.

That slowed her down a bit
and made her remember I was in control.

It was a good ride!

It was a fun ride!

It was a DREAM RIDE!

I would of rode Sunday too,
but was feeling poorly.
(That will be a whole other post!)

My lack of posts 

constitutes a

NEW JOB!

Yes, I have to support my animals

in the custom to which they enjoy life!

So I now work 40+ hrs a week!

Since I have a horse now, 

that I can just go hop on and take a short ride,

Saddle or Bareback,

I felt that this is what I needed to do.

The job landed in my lap and it was hard to refuse.

So this does leave little time to do the things I use to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I also got a new camera!

I really like FUJI's but they just don't seem to last more than a year.

So this time I bought a 

C A N O N Powershot SX130 IS

BRAND NEW and just released the last part of August.

No store carried it!

I had to order it off Amazon!

(Click on link to see my camera)

Thank goodness for Amazon, huh?

I Love my camera!

It has a lot of options on it that I really like.

Such as the FISH EYE LOOK:

It also has the

VIVID COLOR option:

Regular picture

VIVID COLOR

Then here is Sydney in Vivid Color:

Here is one where you SWITCH out the color for another color.

Of course here is Briann....

And Cody:

I am having fun with the camera and still learning all the
new things I can do with it.
Until next time:
Ride your Dream!
