How fickle the Santa Fe weather can be! Yesterday blowing snow. Today we got nice sunny with a cool breeze (but as I'm writing this at dark more snowflakes are falling). Mercy and Delilah accompanied us on a ride out at the gallop track/front big field. This time I let go of Scarlett's mouth a lot more, and consequently we did 2.5 miles in rather short order. (She didn't even get sweaty.) But she did come down to a walk when asked toward the end. Very last, I popped her over a ground pole. To my delight, she jumped the pole, then happily jumped the crossrail that was next, then a curving line to another cross-rail. SHE'S A JUMPER! I was so ecstatic I could dance. We then spent some time just hanging out, hand-grazing under the apple trees at Arrowhead Ranch. I think Scarlett really likes life right now. (Photos by Mercy)
