Mermaid Mane

The weather was so darn nice today I had to do a quick ride -- but first, the messy dirty braids had to come out. The resulting mermaid hair was so cute! I'll re-do them before the next round of rain.




Gia Tried to make a break for it when I started taking too long!




I also washed her very, very dirty tail... hey, it isn't dark brown!!


The ride was good... she's a smidge timid going out alone, but she was good. Hopefully tomorrow (Monday) we will ride with C and S -- so today was a quicky.

Gia Update

So, with the Holiday and all the rain and cold we pretty much laid low.
Gia spends time "protecting" Cupcake from Skip - haha!

Then the weather got really weird! Warm and Sunny! This morning it was 29 at 6am and by noon it was 80. Weird!


So I pulled the remainder of the vetwrap off of Gia's mane - they were dirty and all coming out and unraveling. I had done it once before and re-wraped, but this time I just let her dreds hang.


Of course, after a ride and a grooming she has to roll... figures.


We did go for a quick ride up the road to try out the new breast collar. Seemed to work fine. The bridle and bit set up still disturbs me. Probably more than it bothers Gia, but I still want to work on it.
