Another Good Ride

Hugo could be described as an "odd duck."  He is still difficult to catch.  I cannot walk up to him in the field and touch him.  But once he is in the barn and has lunged for 10-20 minutes, he lets me do anything.  
He seems to be pretty much the same horse if I ride him every day or once a month.  
Today, after a few minutes in the barn, we headed outside.  
He did fine going down the driveway.  
Then I took a hard right and headed up the hill.  I am holding the camera straight, it is just that steep.  
We went by the little cabin.  Here, Hugo did start to get just a little tense.  I still think this could be a nice destination for a tea party for Sadie and Allie.  
We rode across the hill in front of the house.  (love the clouds)
The crape myrtles in front of the house are bloomed better than ever.  Sometimes they don't even start to bloom until frost.  
Then back to the barn for a little more work so he doesn't think the barn means he can stop.  Another good hour and a half ride.

Good boy Hugo! Love those clouds, and what a cute little cabin! I bet the girls would love to play there.

We've had a few funny ones like that. Old Vastrap can only be caught at feeding time---none of my tricks work at any other stage. But once you have him, he's the safest old kid horse on the planet!
