Alex Horsin' Around

Alex is riding and jumping horses again this year.  Once we landed back in Sayulita in August she could not wait to get back to the ranch and back on a horse.  The problem was that the ranch would be closed for another couple weeks so she had to wait.  She waited patiently and has been riding 3x a week for a couple months.  She is currently preparing for a competition later in November.

Her favorite horse is "Pegasus" aka "Peggy" seen in the photos below.  He was not in good shape when she started riding again.  She said he wasn't being cared for as he should have been and it upset Alex so much to see him neglected. Week by week she made sure he was exercised, washed and brushed as he should be.  Now he looks great even after a bought of colic that created a brief emergency at the ranch during one of their sessions.  Now that he is looking and feeling better she is very happy to show off photos of him that she has taken.  She says she is very proud of him.

Pegasus is not an easy horse and is a bit of a project that no one wants to take on other than Alex. Pegasus and most of the horses at the ranch are rescue horses. She loves that horse and understands his personality and quirks.  I think he likes her too actually.  The whole team will do great later in November.
