one big harness
Worked with Patty and Steel today (and Jasper, but that is another story), went for an amazing drive on her 42 acres. Through a field, near the lake, along a gurgling creek...beautiful time. This is me proud as a lioness for getting off the harness (hames to spider) in one motion! Not easy when you're 5'3" and built like a hobbit. Also, Patty makes the best rabbit ginger soup in the world.

hahaha...Jenna...you are such a hoot! Love this picture...love reading and watching your incredible journey. And p.s. "hobbits are very hardy folk" :D
I am hardy folk!
I love driving horses. I can't wait to get Jasper to a point where he is calmer, and a little more like steel.
seeing merlin on Sunday!
That smile on your face made my night! Glad you had a great day. :)
Have you ever heard of Natural Horsemanship? It's a method of training. A friend's trainer teaches it and I spent a day last month watching him do a clinic. It's really fascinating watching the horses begin to develop "thought" rather than just "response". Really seems to calm them down.
Hobbit! Ginger rabbit soup!
Jenna, if you have a personal ad anywhere, please make this your profile picture. It is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e. And maybe frame one specially for your mom. Your smile is contagious and cannot be misunderstood. Anyone who knows you and loves you will see *you* in this picture and smile every time they look at it.
and that comment wasn't to imply your family misunderstands you... it's simply intended that it's a beautiful and honest picture!! There's happiness in front of that camera lens. :))
Rabbit Ginger Soup??? Is that one of those recipes where she could tell you but then she'd have to well, .....you know? If not, please share...my sons bring one in every once in awhile. Great picture.
I can identify with you on the big horse/small person routine as I used to work with 17hh hunters! I'm sure I grew some when I was there!
That big ear-to-ear grin says it all : )
Awesome sounds like fun.
Boy you are tall:) no matter how hard I try to stretch I cannot reach that illusive 5 ft. mark. Hobbit here also. Have fun. B
Seeing that photo just reminds me of the relief in going from 17+ hands and full leather harness to 15 hands and nylon. Pulling it off was not so bad but heaving it up there? Not so much! Phew! ( cleaning it was an all-day, very messy affair.)
yes, please share the recipe for rabbit ginger soup! if allowed that is.
Ahh, I love horses, too. I've had horses most of my life, but not in recent years.
Belgians are very popular here in PEI. I just saw one for sale, trained for draft, 17.3 hands! Can you imagine?
I will keep dreaming ...
Haha I agree know that proud feeling you get pulling the harness off a large horse in one smooth motion, but all my experience comes from harness-race horses. :)
After as rough of a time as I know you've had lately, I'm REALLY glad to see you looking so happy, my friend.
We want rabbit ginger soup recipe!!!!!!
Looking good! Love the pic of you ladies driving off into the distance with a fluffer dog giving chase! Hoorah!
Love the pic..... you're just radiant in it!
I second the request for the ginger rabbit recipe. Sounds like I need to grow some ginger in my garden to use for ............ the rabbits that raid it. (evil grin)
