Winnie Hits the Trail with Moonstone and Ashby

This morning Winnie and I rode with Taylor and her pony Moonstone up the back trail. Taylor handles her pony well--she's quite the young horsewoman and loves to help with all the barn chores, too.

Taylor's Mom, Melissa, led the way on old Ashby, and he seemed glad to get out for a ride. Winnie was pleased to have other horses around, and later enjoyed the pasture turn-out.

Rosey, the mini, made friends with Winnie in the afternoon, and all the horses ran around the field bucking for joy. I'm sure Winnie will be sad to leave here tomorrow.

Taylor made me a beautiful friendship bracelet, which I am wearing on my left wrist. Taylor also helped her mom make dinner: appetizers, an assortment of grilled vegetables, meatless burgers, and parfait dessert, which we enjoyed on the deck built by a very talented dad, Ed Garrett. Little brother Ryan entertained us all evening, talking about his favorite movies.

Tomorrow morning we have a radio interview scheduled with Doug Stephan, and after that, we'll be packing up and heading for Kunkeltown, PA!
