Mountain clouds, Lucille, and nice weather

It was a beautiful autumn day last Tuesday when we stopped by the horse ranch.  We were returning from 3 days in San Juan Capistrano and the ranch was on the way home.  My trainer, Maia, was there and she had Lucille saddled, so up I went!  That was my 5th ride on her.  I did not plan on doing any riding and I only had my Reeboks (not my boots), but she's so gentle, I really am not afraid to hop up on her.  And, it is a LONG way up!  She's 1/2 draft and 1/2 Tennessee Walker, so she is a BIG GIRL!  I enjoyed my ride on her and I'm glad I had another opportunity to do so.  Maia has now switched her lesson day to Monday, so that means I'll be able to see her and the horses 1 holiday in January and 2 days in February (weather permitting).  She was one happy horse after the ride!  My thanks to hubby for taking these photos!  :-)
