Now that the horses have a feel for Johnson County, it was time to kick them to pasture.
For the past few weeks they have been nibbling on grass in Vignaroli's riding arena, while getting to know the horses on the other side of the fence. Today it was time to turn them loose.
Before doing so, I wanted to saddle up and ride the fence.
Old reliable was ready to go.
Then we grabbed mom and hit the trail.
Good fence and good grass.
Enjoy kids!
We'll leave the saddle in the barn in case a riding opportunity out here arises.
A Sunday afternoon ride is always good for the soul, even if it is short and sweet. The horses will be happy on greener grass, and I'll be glad not to worry about them for the next month or so. Hopefully we'll draw some rounding up gigs this fall. Cowboys stay ready.
Father Bryce, may God bless you and your horses this day! You are settling down into our Johnson County community of faith. Wild fires have burned many of our neighbors lately. But good grass, clean water, and above all our Catholic community welcome you and your horses into the community of faith. We all love and honor you in God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
