More from our trail ride and more - We saw early blooming rock roses, tons of Scotch Broom, and the "dark chocolate" plant just starting to bloom. Desejo and I hit the arena-Gosh, he got the correct, elusive left lead first time!!!!! Left Lead! HUGE. Spring on the central coast.

So many photos from our ride - the trail ride I decided to ride with Desejo. "Tourist" photos at the overlook of the Monterey Bay. The mushrooms were glowing in the damp, overcast light. Gosh it was chilly and breezy...what we expect in March ;)

Mystic'n'me doing a quick bareback loop on the Pond View Trail...with a view of the pond :) It was cold, breezy, and so overast, it felt like rain, but things are green, lush and so many wild flowers making an appearance. I am so out of shape for bareback rides, so, I need to fit in more.

#Marchador Monday with Red Elf, the Half-Blood, Gingerbread Prince, moving forward with #EPM. After so many memories of the horse he was, and with three successful rides I had a decision to make. Please read alt text for the full day. It is a long post. No arena photos, ones from the trail.
