...That looks like a great ride and lovely photos. <br /><br />That's interesting about washing out the mouth and thirst receptors. Brena also likes to swill water around her mouth. <br /><br />Small children alarm me though Brena is good with them. The worst things I've seen are a small child running right under my standing horse (in those days a big Irish Draught) and a child grabbing the front leg of someone else's horse which reared, the child was lifed in the air then fell off and the hoof coming down narrowly missed it.whitehorsepilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336201990231834504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-76352772720556522752012-04-12T13:45:23.129-07:002012-04-12T13:45:23.129-07:00That looks like a great ride and lovely photos.

Really, really! One of my favorite things about endurance blogs are posts like this, with details of horse and rider and method, but also great photos of trail and scenery that is wholly unlike where I ride. Gooooo you! <br /><br />Ah, screaming kids who want to pet the pony. I've never had an issue with that with Blaze, in fact he is the type that you can even grab a kid and throw them up on him if pressed, but w/ Desire in the riding limelight for me now I avoid children like the plague (as I do in my daily life, matter of fact). She really doesn't do the whole Standing Still thing, let alone Lowering Head and Being Nice. Mostly because those things involve Standing Still. It was funny, at our meeting spot in Williams to leave for Cuyama, a play ground was next door and A and I did our best to hide our horses (nutty mare and uh, stallion) behind the trailers so we wouldn't attract the screaming hordes.<br /><br />Wooo good luck this weekend! Dixie sounds fit and in fine fettle, and I believe in you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344662726517478751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-18459371541052786302012-04-11T07:38:26.439-07:002012-04-11T07:38:26.439-07:00Great post.

Almost 5 hours in the saddle is a pretty good test I think... I haven't done a long ride commando, but the shorter (hour+) rides I've done haven't rubbed, errr, the <i>essentials.</i> I haven't tried anything except my Butt'r, so I cannot say if it's magical or just adequate!<br /><br />Yeah, it's hard to capture the colors up here. The colors are SO vibrant, even though they're all earth tones. And the shadows ARE really dark, but in person you can still see what's behind them. When I go to SF, it feels like I'm going from the moon (stark shadows, overexposed brights) to a vintage movie with vaseline on the lens. Everything's muted and green and foggy. It's so different!Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-21878638537636379172012-04-10T20:11:06.045-07:002012-04-10T20:11:06.045-07:00Hey, I'm the queen of taking a week or two to ...Hey, I'm the queen of taking a week or two to post about a ride. Sometimes I'm so damn tired from my job that I just look at my computer and sigh. But I need to know more about these panties.... do the seams rub you at all? I'm so frustrated about being rubbed raw riding, my poor lady bits and near regions have had Monkey Butt and Glide and we STILL have issues. Commando may be in my future... <br /><br />PS. I think retouching your photos is fine. I always took photos of the desert and they never came out as vibrant as the desert was. In fact they always came out washed out and blah... which I find the desert to be anything but. Trying to explain to someone how all the different shades of dirt is pretty is hard when the photo doesn't do it justice.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459999598962107210noreply@blogger.com
