You go this way...we'll go that way (after our barn chores are done). Danni started out ahead of us and then Lisa and I had a ride in the opposite direction. Posted by Picasa


Danni tells us what lies ahead, coming from the opposite direction. Puppy waits. Posted by Picasa


Great day to ride...but still windy and cold... Posted by Picasa

Nikki gets a "Chance".


I wasn't there but the story goes something like this...

Danni/Nikki and Bonnie/Chance went out for a trail ride last Saturday during that great weather. All was well in the field off of Malbeouf road with some trotting until Chance decided to start bucking. Bonnie said it wasn't a big deal, and she was good for the first four hops, but the last one was a doozie and she came off.

No injury...but no horse. Chance decided he didn't need a passenger and that he would also head off on his own back toward Bacon Road.

With cell phone in hand, Bonnie activated the HRS or, "Horse Recovery System". Lisa responded in the G-Wagon, while Danni and Nikki galloped afetr Chance. Danni has said that perhaps someday she and Nikki would get to take part in Search & Rescue operation and that day was Nikki's "Chance".

Melanie happened to be training Ben and got in on the act. Lisa picked up Bonnoe to shorten the walk. Danni/Nikki guided Chance into the Domnarski Farm second entrance where Melanie was positioned with every horse's Kryptonite...a carrot treat.

All went well...and the above picture is Danni and Bonnie, just before Bonnie got "back in the saddle" and finished the trail ride. Another adventure with a happy ending at the Domnarski Farm! Good team work!

Feeding horses can be HARD WORK... Posted by Picasa


...but's it easy when you have the right rig to haul the hay! Posted by Picasa

You can see the street light on the lower left corner of the pond for night ice hockey. The pines produce enough shade to keep the snow from melting. Posted by Picasa

Hello! First ride of 2006 for Lisa and I. We did two hours and it was quite the adventure. It was cold, but we were dressed for it. Both Cocoa and Roger received A+++ for some tough trail conditions like crossing an icy brook, busting through some crunchy frost, bypassing a glacier on Camillerri Hill that required a knee high bushwack through some brush, and being patient to wait out a backhoe digging up some rocks on the trail. We haven't ridden them in about 4 months, so they were perfect! Posted by Picasa


Lisa is bundled up...its the first day in about five without snow or 30 MPH winds. Roger is trying to figure out why he needs to stop to have a picture taken. Posted by Picasa


Lisa has the helmet cover on to keep the warmth in. It worked. Posted by Picasa


This is the "before" picture of Cocoa's posterior as he gets into shape for some long trail rides of 2006. Posted by Picasa


See you when it gets warmer! Posted by Picasa
