Starlight was a rock star yesterday at the Halloween party and obstacle course. We were at Wendy and Roger Youmans’ High Country Stables in Hornby, an awesome facility with over 100 acres and a big barn with lots of stalls, heated bathroom and kitchen/eating area and an indoor arena (it’s for sale, by the way).
The obstacles included an elevated bridge, teeter-totter, poles for bending, a mailbox, ground poles, a tarp curtain, and also involved picking up, carrying and replacing things from barrels and cones. Oh, and a big ball, lent by yours truly.
The food was potluck and included sandwiches, meatballs, candied apples, donuts and decadent baked beans, the latter also being supplied by yours truly, if you’re wondering.
Starlight, the little cutie-pie, was dressed as a circus pony, and really, nothing fazed her in the course, not even the teeter-totter, which moves under the horse. The tarp curtain was the only thing that gave her pause at first, but it wasn’t long before she was just pushing right through.
Here are pictures from the day. It’s hard to take good pictures in an arena (especially while on a horse), but they give you an idea of the look of things.
