Real horse weekend

Recently, most of my time has been dedicated to the Jennifer Show, but this weekend was all about the real horses. 

Yesterday, I audited a Buck Brannaman clinic with a group of barn friends.

We stayed for two sessions. The first was Horsemanship I. 

This was a beginners' class and included horses and riders of all skill levels and disciplines. 

The afternoon session, Horsemanship II, was smaller...

and more advanced... 

and included cutting... 

and roping. 

Today, I went on a trail ride with Karen and Mary Jo.

This was almost certainly my last ride on Chino, and he was his usual stellar self.

I know he will do great in his new home, but I'm going to miss that face... 

and those ears! 

Tomorrow it's back to the Jennifer Show. I have some great new donations to share!
