Hugo's Outing

I took Hugo out for a ride a couple of days ago.  

He still hasn't gotten any easier to catch.  But once caught has always fine to work with.  

Joe had just bush hogged the riding ring so, of course I had to try it out.  

Joe even showed up to take a couple of pictures.  

Hugo did fine.  It was pretty wet, so we just trotted, no trying to canter.  He isn't the best at that anyway.  I think he has some gaited bloodlines and gets pretty pacey at the canter.  

After finishing up in the arena, we did our loop around the gravel road and back up the driveway.  There was a little standoff with a couple of calves, but that didn't last long.  Another nice ride with Hugo.
