We have a small home on small acreage in Erda, Utah,
35 miles west of
Salt Lake City.
We lease some adjoining acreage which we use for pasturage and
hay production.

Cynthia on Hollie.
Thor doesn't know that he hasn't been trained to have Cynthia stand on him.
Sally doesn't care if it's way below freezing. She's taking Hollie for a ride!

February 10th. The day's are getting longer, the day's are getting warmer.
Heather visits from New Jersey.
Sally leads. I told Heather not to bother with the stirrups, (just for safety's sake). Then I could see she was a "natural". She was reading Dezi's mind.
Heather opts for a light fingertip grasp on the reins and her body language is just right.
No yanking, jerking, or tugging here.
Harper is visiting from Bali. She rests her finger tips on the saddle as Dezi and Sally walk around. Harper has no fear of horses.
