At the eleventh hour I have joined up with the Northwest Washington Draft Riders. I got to practice for a few hours on Sunday... Performance is next Friday evening. I hope I don't mess things up for them. Then there is a Parade Saturday morning and another performance Saturday evening.

The lineup:

Beth on Sonny the Belgian gelding

Kelsie on Dakota the steel gray Percheron gelding

Claire on King the light gray Percheron gelding

Susan on Luke the black Percheron gelding

Ron on Blare the bay Clydesdale gelding

and now Jenni on Luna the dapple gray Percheron MARE

Draft circle! Woo-hoo!!!

Here's Ron thinking: "Turn left, Jenni!" but as you can see I've totally missed my cue and I'm riding straight on through. Sorry Ron!!!

Two girls tending to their tired Percherons.

I loves me a Percheron!
