| Celia and Nina |
Notes: Celia rode over for shooting practice and Nina hauled over from Brenda/Hope area. Nina wants to expose her horse to mounted shooting and possibly pick it up. After practice - we rode with Celia part way back to her place.
Notes: Rode out to the Massacre site and looked for a geocache I downloaded earlier. We did not find it but found where it likely was. Might go back another time and dig in that spot in the event they buried it.

| Celia and Dirt |
Notes: Left on horseback from our respective houses and met in the middle. We rode out behind my place to the power line. It's been raining on and off for a few days but we managed to get back before getting rained on.

Notes: I picked up Celia after chores and hauled out S. Eagle Eye. We opted not to go to N. Eagle eye because of the bug situation. We unloaded at the 2nd windmill...actually the only windmill out there now since they took the first one down. Other than being muggy due to the pending rain - it was a good day for a ride. I left Jack's boots at home and he made it the entire way barefoot. I've been trimming him in accordance with a barefoot trimmer I follow/subscribe too: David Landreville: On the Vertical. It's been an eye opener. I am learning a lot about proper hoof care for function and soundness. I can already see a difference in both him and Drifters' hooves. Celia made us fabulous chicken/apple salad on a lettuce wedge for lunch. It was to die for. I was starving.

Notes: Drifters' turn to head out in the desert after doing chores for friends gone for the week. The mosquitoes and flies are bad out here so mask up the horses.

| The sleeping giant |
Notes: I am doing chores for Fred and Cindy while they are at the Senior Pro Rodeo finals. I hauled Jack up for a ride after doing chores. I'll take Drifter tomorrow and NOT forget the fly mask...which I did today...again. The flies are bad up there.
Notes: The bugs about ate us alive so we cut the ride a bit short. We won't be forgetting mosquito spray or our fly masks next time.
