New Arena.

Our very nice neighbors, who have seven horses and a beautiful arena just told us we can ride in their arena anytime. Did I mention that it's a BEAUTIFUL arena? It's huge and is always perfectly grated and filled with the most perfect sand. Our neighbors do very little riding these days, so they are happy someone will use it. (They also have jumps and dressge letters, can life get any better?)

Here's a picture of me and Maverick in the new arena at the end of our ride. I hated to ride in it because it had just been grated and looked so pretty. Maverick and I made tracks all over the place. I love the sound his feet make cantering through the soft sand.

If you look closely at Maverick you'll see how much hair he has. He's shedding his winter coat like crazy. My dad says he looks blurry.

Right next to the arena is a pen with sheep. You can imagine how happy Maverick was to see those sheep. He didn't know what to think of them, but the longer we rode the less scared he was. The sheep are really cute, they have a couple of lambs.

Since the arena is so nice, I was hoping Maverick wouldn't poop while we were riding in there. He didn't. Thank goodness he's a horse with nice manners!

The sand makes it look like you are on the beach instead of in the mountains.

A nice arena to ride in is a wonderful thing! I couldn't imagine my life without one.

Wow, a nice arena close by to ride in, you are really lucky. I have to haul my horses quite a distance to ride. Sometimes it's hard to get up the motivation to load up a trailer full of horses to go ride. Would be a lot simpler if I had an arena. Some day......
