Up the Plateau

 After some morning chores and doctoring sheep, Tiny asked us if we had been up to the top of the plateau across the road.  We hadn't, so we hopped on some horses and went!  The fat that you can just hop on a horse and climb a mountain at a moment's notice was unbelievable!  Plus I got to ride Tiny's horse, Kitty, which was a true honor.  She was amazing, so powerful and smart.  

We crossed the highway and climbed up a steep side of the hill.  The dry grass and dust took up up and around, and as we came up onto the top, all of a sudden we could see for MILES!  We had 360 degree views of distant mountains and pasture.  It was absolutely gorgeous!  

  The girls really started to get comfortable and feel into their horses.  I loved having a horse as my mode of transportation.  It felt like a step into a different time.  The speed of life slowed and calmed, led by the rhythm of nature instead of obligation.
