Wednesday's Ride!!

I rode with the saddle this evening! I wasn't sure I was going to go down the strip but I did. First though I went behind the steer barn and rode there for a little. Then we headed out front. I headed toward the strip. Navajo balked a bit but he did go eventually. We walked most of the way down and then trotted the whole way back. It is so awesome I feel like I am doing quite well at holding my hands in the right position and also with the posting! Then once we were the whole way back I did some trotting and cantering in the big yard. Navajo did pretty good. I even got him to move his hindquarters a few times. Then I headed up to the barn to put the saddle away. I met up with my aunt Barb and we talked for a while. I love talking to her!! =) So I didn't ride bareback like I was planning but I was fine with that. Tomorrow I hope to ride longer tomorrow. We shall see!
