It's been a long time since that summer I spent horseback riding with a buddy of mine. I was 12, she was 9, and it was the most wonderful time of my life. Her 20 acres of woods were a complete dream for me, as were her two darling ponies. There was no point in getting saddles out (far too cumbersome). We decided to simply put blankets over the horses' backs and go exploring.
I was certainly reminiscent of that time when I took these photos of Jaikey, though she looks as if she's on more a mission than a joy-ride. What do you think her adventure might be? She certainly has a fondness for animals! Especially her calf, Garnet.
How has your summer been so far? Have you ridden a horse yet?
