Sunday's Ride!!

YIPPEE I got to ride yesterday:) I am so happy. I haven't been able to ride much this past week but I was quite happy to be able to ride Saturday AND Sunday. Saturday I rode with no saddle but Sunday I did. It was around 7 or so when I saddled up and headed out. Dad and Rachel had a fire in the firering going and we have to go past it (like 100 ft away) to go down the strip. Well Navajo decided he did not like the fire and didn't want to pass it. Well I kept asking him to go forward and he eventually did. Once we were past he just snorted. I laughed at him and told him it wasn't that bad..lol. Funny horse.

We walked down the strip and then turned the corner. Then I asked him to trot. We trotted back and forth along there about 10 or so times. I didn't go in the field because of it being close to dark and also I felt a few raindrops. I didn't feel like being caught in the rain. So we trotted the whole way back. That was fun. And my posting got better since I shortened the stirrups:) Overall it was a good ride and Navajo did well as well. I think we will use the next few weeks and get used to the saddle and then back to training again:) We are going to plowday two weekends in a row so I won't get to ride then. But I will update you and HOPEFULLY get some pics at both. I don't really want to go because I want to ride but hey such is life with a business I guess :) Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I did!
