Bob's been quite a nice ride for roading and fall hunting.  Here I am dressed up for cubbing.

 

Getting ready to head out. The spotted horse is also a draft cross. Bob is great about standing around for talking....

Heading out. Bob and Thuy are the two back bay horses. I still haven't ridden Thuy out hunting this season. He's so steady that I've been lending him out to other riders.

Thuy, on the left, looks a touch wider than Bob.

Gabrielle and I made up First Flight. Thuy knew his job, and Bob only got flustered once. He now understands to rate himself behind the horse in front, and I don't even need to pull him up when everyone else slows down. he does it for me.

Gabrielle and I switched out coming in. Here she's on Bob, and....

I'm up on Thuy. Such a big difference in feel. Thuy feels like a couch and Bob has power behind every step.

They were happy to stay by each other the entire ride.
