Memory Lane

Remember the pictures of the goats I promised? I finally got them today. When I loaded them on the computer, I had an unscheduled trip down memory lane. I'll share a little with you.

I hope I don't offend anyone at the church, but they will be on our church website anyway. But here are some pictures of Common Ground Cowboy Church's 1st trailride. We had fun and I think I wrote about it already. Koda likes to kick others was one thing I learned that day.



The Baby was passed from horse to horse and was asleep before the end of the ride.



This man, Brad, is our 4-H riding club leader and a good man.



Melanie hosted the trail ride from her house. We left her house and went down the country road onto our pastor's land. There we got lemonade and did some ravines and "forest" trails. After that we went back to Melanie's. Thanks Melanie.

I let a girl my daughter's age ride our old mare. I require anyone under 18 riding my horses or on my land to wear a helmet. Scarlet got kicked by Koda on this ride and scared the fire out of the girl. It was her first ride and I had to pony her a little while.

Anyway, here are some pictures of our goats: BRIAN


You've met Brian. He's our billy. There are better pictures but you already know him so I wasn't worried.





MAMMA
Mamma is the older nanny we bought. She's around 3 I think. She is the mother of our baby Lulu.






LULU

Lulu is so cute. She is just getting her nubs and is still friendly enough to come running when we go out. With or without food. She's a sweetheart.





LILLY


The "middle-aged" (as in not oldest or youngest) female. We think she may already be pregnant. She may have been pregnant when we got her, but if not, she should be now. She's been with Brian for a couple of weeks now.






And don't forget my favorite, who came up to investigate what we were doing and if we had food.

What fun!! Your trail rides look like our "trail" rides. They are a lot of fun though.

And your goats are super cute!! We have just one Boer goat. He is our pet. I think he will be the "buddy" goat for the ones the kids show.

It's been 70's here lately too!! We have been taking advantage of it and getting in a lot of riding. It's supposed to rain tonight, sigh...., but our arena doesn't stay too wet. Bit I really have been loving the weather!
