Little Big Econ - a Lot Buggy

Sunday June 16, we met at 8:30 a.m. at Little Big Econ.  I was riding Slim (again, yeah!), Caren was riding Jake (a/k/a Tatum because of his cute butt), Gayle got Honda out of storage and Liz was on Amora.

We had a great ride but it was very very buggy.  Usually we are fighting deer fly at LBE but today it was mosquitos the size of small birds.  They were everywhere.  Still, we tried to do enough trotting to keep ahead of them and enjoyed a few moments of splashing down at the river.  The river is really high due to all of the recent rain so Jake (also known as Water Bug) was having a terrific time.  Slim lost a shoe on the way out - we never noticed until we found it on the way back, but he never missed a beat.

I thought Caren and I were going to look at horses in the afternoon but it wasn't meant to be. Maybe next weekend.  I did actually get approved for adoption by the Horse Protection Association of Florida. 

They have a lot of gorgeous, large Thoroughbreds they are trying to place in forever homes.  Not sure I want a Thoroughbred but I'm willing to look.

If anyone has a lead on a good solid, forward moving trail horse that is paint, pinto, buckskin or chocolate palomino definitely give me a call.
