Symphony

This morning my friend Karen called and asked if i could help her bring home her new calf. She bought Symphony a couple weeks ago from a local farmer/raw milk "activist" and it was time to bring her home. Instead of hooking up the horse trailer for a small calf she decided to take her pickup, she would sit in the back with the calf and i would drive her home.

Going the speed limit the drive is only about 5 minutes long, but going 20kph it takes a little longer. The calf did great though.

She's an adorable little calf who loves to have her ears scratched. Knowing Karen she will be a great loving cow too when she grows up.

After we got Symphony all settled in we saddled up Raven (one of her 4 horses) and went for a ride. Well, i rode and she made sure i was doing things correctly. Let me tell you, it went MUCH more smoothly with a saddle than bareback!! Maybe that was partly because i was much more confident.

Unfortunatley i remembered when i was halfway there that i had forgotten my good camera at home so i only had my tiny PAS but i did get a couple of Karen and the calf in the truck at least.
