This is Buddy and I
We just finished putting the Bosal on Ruby.

NOTE: The riding helmet...

I do not always were one, but I do still consider Ruby
to be very green and there is no way I would
consider riding her in the open without one.

Safety First!

Flex to left...
Flex to the Right...
Some times easier said than done!
Nice butt shot!
Okay let just say that Anna, is not
meant to be a Photographer!

Sorry Anna!
I was looking at the sunset behind me...
It was so pretty and by the time we got back
to the house it looked as if the sky was
on fire!
She walked right into the box
however coming out she wanted to stop and eat!
 
She hesitated briefly as the ropes and when on through.
We did this a couple of time.

I think I was in shock!
Ruby stopped about 1/2 way down and stood her tracks.

Those darn pigs have gotten her stumped again.  So, Anna rode out in front and Ruby followed.

She walked right up to the Texas 3 Step and then stepped down.
Let me say I think I was way more stressed over this course
than she ever thought about being!

And the last step down...
Going back up took a little bit more encouragement.
When she decided to go she popped right up with her front
end and then her hind.  She went right up to the next level
and popped right on up again.  To my surprise that she did it so willing when she topped the second level she just moved out and went around the 3rd.  I felt like she did well enough that I did not push it.
The bridge was also a piece of cake...
Okay I had to do this 3 times to get a picture

The first time we followed Anna over.
The trench did not prose a problem for her, however getting in it was not something Ruby wanted to do.  We went in by the water hole...  Anyway, Ruby follwed Anna down and right into the trench.
The last obstacle of the day was the tarp.  She sniffed and snorted and after such a good day I did not want to push her.
However, after watching Anna go over it she followed suit.  We even stopped for photos!
