Yee Haw

The boy is back! Lazy bum. Slight issues with tying but with the help of my "other bud", Haley, he settled down nicely. "What? I'm not supposed to be afraid of lead ropes? Ok."

So....I rode him Western. And, Haley discovered that he neck reins. Not perfect but he does it. Go figure. How did I ride him yet Haley discover the neck rein thing? We trade. Musical horses.


Back to the Western thing...interesting, but not for me. I don't get it. My body doesn't get it. My seat is horrid. I ride it like a long- legged english seat. Can't....sit....back....ugh. Gimme my english tack, any day. I still had the mystery nerves tonight. Coming from nowhere. Maybe not exactly nowhere. Thinking back to yesterday when he was 20 feet in the air.


This horse needs miles. And a slightly more confident rider. He's not feeding off of my insecurity very much. And, that will go away with just a bit of riding. He stands still for me as long as I want. He stays relaxed. And, he's a character. He likes people. He likes riding. And he's hot. A hottie, hot, hot, hot. And the best thing about him...he snuggles and loves it. My life is blessed.
