Grandpuppy pix/great day to ride.

If there is anything cuter than a Cardigan Welsh Corgi pup, it's five of them.  Can't you just smell their sweet puppy breath?  The black & whites with tan points are all girls and marked just like daddy Onyx.  The blue merle is a boy, marked just like his mummy Tanzi.  Born Oct. 13 2010.  Sorry they don't reside here, I just have Daddy.  Not sure how many may still be available but, if interested in finding out contact Debbie Brooks ulamauna@netzero.net.  Both Mummy and Daddy are Champions, Onyx also has two agility titles along with his novice rally title.  So these pups are sure to have beauty AND brains :)  I'm going to wait till their a few weeks older to pay them a visit. 

On the Hafy front, what a great day to ride...First Camryn and I spent an hour riding our pasture and perfecting picking up the cones and handing them back to me.  She's got it down nearly 99% success rate.  Must say it's easier without the camera!!!  We noticed Danette riding her mare Dakota, Camryn was interested but, continued on.  We'd just gathered all our cones to put away when Danette hollered over asking if we'd like to ride thru the woods together.  Well, DUH!!!  Put the cones away, made sure Onyx couldn't follow then rode over to meet them.  Poor Dakota, or should I say poor Danette as Dakota is in season again.  She did great till we got over to the boarding barn where there are five handsome geldings.  Dakota planted her feet and refused to move.  Camryn and I tried riding away hoping she'd be game to follow, tried that a few times, nothing.  We rode over beside them, Camryn reached her head over to Dakota's and must have whispered something, because as we turned to walk away Dakota finally followed.  We headed over to our barn, Dakota once again grew roots not wanting to move.  Took some doing but, finally she followed us and we rode over to her home barn.  This happens whenever Dakota is in season, if Eclipse her gelding honey is along she's much better but, still will stick not wanting to move.  Camryn did great, though we did have one spook when Danette's cat Leppi leaped down from a wall near us.  It was dusk and Leppi is gray so I don't think Camryn had seen her.  Camryn recovered quickly and attempted to follow Leppi to get a better look aka sniff.  We hope to ride again tomorrow, I can't wait.
