Riding the pony express

The weather was so
perfect today that I decided to ride Kelton out from
the farm to the trail at Pella Crossing. The ponds
are particularly beautiful right now, with the trees
changing colors and the mountains in the background
capped with snow. Kelton was very good and we even
managed to get in some schooling in walk/trot
transitions.
I had such a good time on Kelton that when I got back, I decided to get on Belle and head out again. Belle was also very good, although she had to stop and stare a few times. We trotted around an entire pond and that was enough for me, but I think Belle could've kept going and going. She's an energizer pony!
I was having such a good time that when I got back to the farm, I rode past my house and down the driveway to get the mail. Belle cocked an ear towards the house, but then motored on forward, curious about what we were doing. I got off to check the mailbox, which was full, and then somehow I managed to hold all the mail in one hand and get back on Belle, who happily carried the mail (and me) back home!
