Horse...Course of Obstacles!

This summer while riding at the "Flying M Ranch", we were excited to find that an obstacle course had been constructed on the property. It was fun to "test" the horses on this course and I got to ride both Little Lady and The King through the course several times. There was only one obstacle that I thought might give us problems...but I was delighted to find out that they both went through everything with flying colors!

Here's the course from a distance!
The dreaded car wash monster!

An "L" shaped gully!

A very deep gully!

A wooden bridge!

"L" shaped bales of straw!

A 2ft dirt platform to jump up onto, then jump down and go over these logs!

The deep gully as well as the "L" shaped gully and straw obstacles were sooooo easy for my kids that we even did them all backing up to make it more of a challenge!

And the bridge was completed first try by both of them!

Still no problem on first try for both!!!
Now it's time for the dreaded car wash monster! As you can see, the wind was up this day and I was not sure how it would go. This is the day I was riding The King.





We are right in the middle of the car wash and the "fingers" are blowing all over us! I could not get a very good picture one handed. The King could care less! Little Lady was such a good girl...she was not too sure about the car wash but all I had to do was ask her and then reassure her that she was ok and she went right through! Jesse will do all of this first try too! I am sooooo lucky to have these equines in my life!!!

Your Desert Rose!
