Horses, kids and cutting

Another great ride yesterday. The horse has taken a step forward and I can pick up the bridle reins and work of the bit a little more. I have no illusions of him being straight up in the bridle yet though, ad a fast cow to the mix and he'll probably need the support of the bosalita. We're getting there though.
We had us quite a scare yesterday when Ida and Elton took off full tilt down the road! A couple of minutes later the horsy comes jogging back with an empty saddle, mouth full of grass. Me and Brady took off to find Ida, Annelie and our friend Kicki quietly drinking coffe did the same, mugs & coffe flying! After reaching Elton I saw Ida running my way in the distance. Phew, she isn't that hurt, flew through my mind. When She finally arrived along with an out of breath Annelie, Kicki and two very excited dogs, she was all smiles. Seems she dismounted to pick some wild strawberrys and Elton saw his chance and took of for home! Man, heartattacks all around!
