HI Horse Pals ~
Dandy and I have been having some fabulous jumping days. I am having so much fun with her and I love her more every time I ride her!
This week we worked on a triple bounce sequence where the first 2 jumps had no strides in between. It helped her rhythm and was a fun line to add to our jumping courses.
As always, we are enjoying our summer rides with all of our friends at the barn. It has been over 100 degrees at the barn! It is quite intense, especially on the days when Avery and I ride more than one horse.
We would love to hear about your horse adventures! Write and tell us all about them.
Your Horse Pals,
@raya and Avery
P.S. We're still waiting for your ideas for a contest! Let us know what you think ....
Hi Lizzy ~
How exciting! What kind of dog did you get? Is it a puppy? Send us some photos and we'll post them. I'm sure your dogs will become good friends once your older dog gets used to the new one.
We've been having a great summer, riding a lot and swimming and going to the beach a lot, too!! How's yours been?
Your Animal Pal,

Hey @raya! Great job riding Dandy, and I hope your summer's going well!! I recently got a new dog, and he's SO cute!! The only bad thing is that my other dog is all grumpy about him.

(P.S. Please write back!!!)

Hi Elizabeth!
I loved your question so I made it a post! Check it out and let us know how it's going with Fritz! We'd love to see a photo of him. What kind of pony is he?
Happy riding,
@raya

I rode Fritz for the first time. It was hard. He is REALY green. Since you have more experience in this area than I do, do you have any tips?
thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth ~
I love the name, Fritz! That will be fun!
I had a great day exercising Jimmy. We worked on the trot and canter. Avery will write your sisters back.
Write back soon,

Snickers sends a kiss to Dandy! Mia is doing great with Luke, and Katherine and Roo are quite the pair!
There is a very green grey pony at the barn named Fritz that Mr.Micheal(my coach) is having me exercise. I will tell my sisters to write!

Hey Samantha ~
We miss you too!
The barn is doing great.
I am happy to hear that he is calmer! He had a lot of energy! How hot is it at your place? It is around 100 degrees here! How is your new barn going? What is it like? You can send us a few photos and a story about Ranger, you and your barn/barn friends and we can do a post on it if you would like.
Dandy says hi to Ranger and Avery says hi too.
Got to go,
Talk soon,
Your Horse Pal,

Hi Elizabeth ~
I am so sorry! I hope he get better soon! I'm sure he will!
Dandy sends a big kiss to Snickers.
Are you going to ride another horse while Snickers is getting better? How are your sisters and their ponies?
Write soon,
Your Horse Pal,
Araya
P.S. Avery says hi to all of your sisters.

Hey araya its samantha. I see the barn is doing great. I miss you guys! You want to talk about the heat. It is HOT where I am now living at. Ranger is doing excellent as usual. He now slows down and collects himeself now. Also oddly he is much more calmer. Hope to hear from you!

Snickers had surgery on his right foreleg this Tuesday. They discovered two tumors there, and had to take them out. He is fine, except that he has a big wound on his leg and I cannot ride him. I am so worried!
happy trails,
Elizabeth
P.S. Good job with Dandy!
