Becca

Sometimes what you need is right in front of you. I need a horse that I can ride that is mine. So, last weekend, I asked Jenny to test ride Becca. She hollered and screamed and had eyes as big as saucers. And she did just fine. There was no buck in her at all but she was resisting the bit big time. So the next day I rode her at home in her old English bridle. She was much happier with the soft bit. And she did everything I asked, albeit not so pretty.

After my disappointing trip to the vet Tuesday I hauled her back to the arena to blow off some steam. She was great. It felt like the good ole days. I am so excited to have her back. I am going to go slow with her because of her age and the nature of her back injury. And, I pray that she stays sound. She is not totally happy to be out of retirement but it will be good for her health and my sanity.

My life is blessed by amazing beasts.

Bec- before. Maybe we can be NOChunkyMonkies???
