The weather got a little wild for our last 3 day ride
She was the first horse to come to us and the first to leave us.
Luke and I moved next door to Emmylou when we came to Corrales 11 years ago. She had lived alone in a small pen for 9 years. She was nervous and guarded. We started with long walks along the ditch where she would quiver and whinny the whole way. I rode her in her small pen until finally she let me ride her out. I would take her to graze and find big pastures where I could let her loose and run. She wasn’t mine, but I was hers. Eventually she really did become mine. Our herd grew, I had Gus, we started Red Horse, and she was the first horse to carry my tiny baby on her back. Carefully and slowly she tiptoed around with me and Gus, a behavior not normal to her. She was smart and kind and put her heart into everything she did. She was the first horse to have truly been mine since I was a kid. She was a friend and a beloved family member. I am forever grateful for the lessons she taught me and the love and trust she gave us. She will be long missed.

Enjoying them muddy waters. So nice to see the river a little higher this year.

Totally normal to ride around with a ceramic mug tied to your saddle. @hanselmannpottery
