This week sometime Arial will be off on an adventure. She is going to the farm where she had her training this past fall.
The lady who did her training has two daughters, and their pony is out of commission. They loved Arial so much they want to lease her and ride her all summer.
Miss H tries to get two rides in a week on her but she is almost too big for her, and Little E is not advanced enough for Arial. She is still a beginner and Arial is very green. So she will go off sometime this week and will be ridden every day. She will get lots of riding time and it will be a good deal all around.
I am going to miss all of my evening nuzzles and spa sessions. But I can visit anytime I need to and Little E can still ride her when ever she wants.
I think she will miss her scratches and peppermints the most though.
Sounds like Arial is going to have a wonderful summer... I'll bet she gets lots of scritches where she going to.

It will be wonderful for Arial, but I know you will miss her-just think about the lovely reunion you will have when she comes back home!

What a beauty she is! Growing up as a young girl, I had a horse similar to Arial. She was part Arabian and had the same dappled coloring - her name was Dusty. Gosh - this brings back a flood a warm memories for me. All of your photos are lovely, Sarah...but my favorite is the first. Arial makes a lovely backdrop for the yellow flowers.
