Gratitude creates it’s own attitude. It can give you a new perspective, a new focus. I am going to use this day as my opportunity to see those things.
Getting the Idea
We had a great day last Friday. I helped out with vet work there. Multiple horses had teeth done, little Luis was gelded and then I worked with Rita on halter training. I also got in a short, fun ride on my Lily mare.
I am very thankful that I have these wonderful horses to play with; That I have great friends to share them with; And that we are headed out for another Cowgirl Campout this weekend, this time at Megan’s place.
The best one I got right now of last night's ride...
The ride before that, I worked him a bit around the pastures. He has a great trot. I ended up taking him down the road and met up with a lady from my new barn. I also met Laura, who lives across the street. She was on her 2 year old, …another green bean. We rode the local gravel roads until after dark. What fun! Vinnie was a champ. He really likes to move out.
I’m starting to think that if I can find a part leaser for Lily, who wants to trail ride at Pisgah … that I might be able to afford to keep them both. It’s hard to think about selling Vinnie. I’m just going to hold that thought and see what comes of it. Plans right now are to bring Lily home sometime in November. And THAT I’m thankful for as well.

How great that you have all these wonderful horses to ride and great friends to go horse camping with! It sounds wonderful. And I hope you can keep both of your horses – I know how hard it is to part with them, especially after all the work you’ve been doing. Also, thanks for the link, Simrat! Happy Thursday!
Except our “camping” involves sheets and beds inside, nice warm fires in the stove and houses to shelter in from the rain.
It is wonderful! Maybe next summer we should do some real horse camping.
Sshhhhh! That’s what we do at TDR! Does a tent really make it better? Maybe I just need to man-up and become tougher! I can’t even imagine how much we would have to pack …
Well, we could try a horse camp with corrals. Maybe I need to look again at getting a small truck camper.
That would let us try new locations!
Hi! I wrote my own “Thankful Thursday” for the first time today.

Wonderful, Fatima! I’m behind the ball on TT myself… have to get on that later today when I’ve got a spare moment.
Camping off horse-back in a small little tent is soooo fun! I’ve done it twice and that is one of the things I look foward to the most with my ponies. It’s just like backpacking in somewhere, only you’re on a horse
