Horses Birthday

Last Saturday we had a riding day at Cedars Fields to celebrate the 01 Aug Horses Birthday. We had five riders and five parents/guests to try out/watch the new dressage arena and the first jumps/obstacles/large logs over in the cross-country course/cows' paddock. It was a beaautiful day. I cooked the BBQ. Cedar and Mac were ridden through the dam in Cedar's paddock and even Teddy got in the act by tying up at the new tie up rail to watch the other horses and then he got another lesson to feel part of the festivities.

Well. The next day, O got a saddle on Teddy and very gradually put more weight onto his back. Until, hey presto, she was in the saddle and he was getting used to the new weight. He looked quite pleased with himself afterwards, like he had joined the ranks of the working ponies.
