Addendum to Around the Farm -- Maddie's First Time Off Site

[George McGovern]

While putting Around the Farm's post together I caught movement out the window. Maddie was out in the yard with Laurie atop her. They were taking a walk and ended up riding through the driveway gate and beyond. Laurie was very pleased with Maddie's effort.

Out in the front yard.



Opening the gate. Note Maddie's questioning side eye.

Out on the gravel road.

Lost them here. Not able to follow. They continued another 1/4 mile, turned around and came home. Good Ride!

10. Every time atop a horse Bayard. She won't let kids ride here without a helmet.

Maddie IS a trooper! Laurie liked to give her babies musical names. Maddie is short for Madrigal, her registered name. Thank You!

11. I keep an old helmet around

Just to remind me to always wear a helmet. It has a big hole in it from me coming off, and hitting a rock with my noggin. Could have been a hole in my head.

12. To quote the 4H -- "Every time every ride." Thank You Ley.
