Riding Cookie

We had to cancel our ride this afternoon due to potential thunderstorms, so I just rode Cookie, my Icelandic Horse mare, around the property, and asked my husband to grab a few pictures.

We went to visit the dog next door, Chewy. She's a friendly dog, but sort of scared. She'll come over, and then shake or cower. In any case, she's very cute!


We generally ride bareback and bitless (rope halter).


Had to check out the bananas growing on the banana tree. You can see the sky is relatively clear.


Then the sky darkened with clouds starting to come in from the east (maybe the Arizona monsoons!).
