Working Ride

Joe said if I wanted to ride he could use some help moving some cows and calves. 

He wanted to mix two groups of cow/calf pairs and needed my help to heard one group though the gate while he kept the other group back. 

Everything worked perfectly and I got to enjoy the view and nice weather.  Since it didn’t take long, I continued riding for pleasure.

At one point I spotted this red tailed hawk. 

It didn’t seem at all bothered about how close we were 

and Otoelene wasn’t bothered about it flying from tree to tree.

We did have a run in with a bit of mud.  And since she was so sweaty she got her first bath of the season.
