"Justin Rides Again"

March 2009

March 20, 2009 After 3 long years, Justin and Sebastian reunite.

"Wassup fool!"

Justin grooms Sebastian in the barn

I can hardly believe it's been since Sebastian lived in Florida on Mother's Day May 14, 2006 since Justin has groomed or ridden Sebastian.

Sebastian darts as we free lunge him.

Due to the weather and poor riding conditions, Sebastian has alot of energy he needs to release.

Sebastian really loves to run!

Justin waits paitently as I free lunge Sebastian and get him ready to ride.

Sebastian looks good in purple.

I ride Sebastian around a few times to warm him up for Justin. I was nervous about Justin riding .

I'm thrilled to see Justin back on Sebastian for a ride after all these years!

Justin takes off his hat so he can trot around.

It appears that Justin has remember all his riding skills...

The old friends ride around the ring together.

Each time they build up speed.

What's that? A little smile!

Show off!

May 12, 2006 This is one of the last times Justin rode Sebastian, in the field with his cousin Jyllene and her horse Tripoli.

Justin goes down Rice Road, one of his old stomping grounds.

Justin is now 18 and 1/2 years old and a senior in highschool.

Sebastian has had his winter shoes removed and is now barefoot again.

Justin decides he wants to ride over at Lake Dennison, he has never ridden there before so I walk with him down the road.

Justin has to go over a big snow mound that Sebastian sinks deeply in.

The first day of spring is today, but nothing is in bloom, just the end of a dreary winter.

Justin canters down the icey open road.

Justin's face is cold, they wear these bandanas when they snowboard as well but he kinda looks like Jesse James!

Justin is being a real good sport and allowing his Aunt take all these photos of him!

I think we were more tired them he was as we had to walk through the snow and ice a long way to film and photograph him.

The scenery is pretty in this shot.

This has been a very long winter.

Justin's finger tips are frozen, it's about 36 degrees today.

We take a photo together.

Justin had so much fun here he said he may come back in the summer when everything is beautiful and green.

We go down to the beach to take a few more scenic shots before we leave for home.

Sebastian is such a good horse!

The lake is still frozen over but not safe for people to go out on anymore.

Sebastian and Justin ride again after 3 years!

I'm so happy to see a smile on his face!
