SECOND TIME SUNDAY!

So, this morning was the second time I have ever worn a bit, this time Mommy put it on the headstall our friend Terry is letting her use during my training ("my" headstall) which fit much better than the old one we borrowed yesterday!

I will go into greater detail about all that in a minute but first I have a formal complaint to file about the unspoken rule popular among horse owners that they get to pick our clothes without our input!

It is completely unfair! I don't go to Mommy's house and pick out random outfits she has to wear!

IT'S HORRIBLE!

Today for example, Mommy put on my green halter and a pair of old, orange, bell boots!

My disaster of an outfit today!

Ummmm.....are you sick or something Mommy? I looked like a frick'n pumpkin 🎃!

I tried to convince Mommy to change my boots while she was putting them on this morning. But here's how that went.

"Hey Momma, What the heck do you think you doing!?"

"I'm putting on your boots so we can go play, why?"

"Because I don't want to wear the orange bell boots."

"Oh...why not?"

Sigh..."Obviously they don't match the rest of my out fit and that is a huge fashion violation!"

"Tiger these are the only bell boots that fit you because your legs are pony size, we've been over this!"

"That's stupid...you should go buy me new ones."

"I've told you a million times, money doesn't grow on trees! I can't go out and spend $1,000 getting you boots in every color of the rainbow🌈! No matter how much I would like to."

Mommy finishes velcroing my boots on and stands up.

"See TigerLily you don't look that bad, you look cute!"

"I look ridiculous..."

"No you don't, you look like a little Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle."

"Uh...yeah no, I look like a pumpkin."

"A cute pumpkin."

"Still a pumpkin."

After about another 30 minutes of this back and fourth Mommy and I were walking around the Ranch with my bridle on after my training time.

My bridle

At the beginning of our session I wasn't too happy about the piece of metal in my mouth...but I have to admit by the time we had finished our training session for the day, I had almost forgotten it was even there!

Bridles aren't so bad

However, I still wasn't happy about my outfit! 

Mommy told me that all horses have to wear mismatched tack sometimes and that made me feel better for a little while...but then she went to get my roommate Lola ready and low and behold she looked fabulous!

Lola head to toe in her competition colors
Electric Blue and Black

Seriously?...would it kill Mom to put this much effort into my wardrobe?

She says it's easier to dress Lola then me...that's a stupid excuse!"

Anyway, bits aren't that bad but my Mommy's fashion sense sucks!



Lots Of Kisses!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!! YYYAAYYY! Me in my birthday crown! Today I turned 3!! I'm SUCH a big girl now omg! It has been such a busy weekend! On Friday Mommy decided that she should get on my back for the first time...I mean like what the heck dude! Getting on my back for the first time on FRIDAY Um....what is happening Mommy? It was really weird at first I was all like  "Momma what...the...heck are you doing..."  But (being the super adult and lady-like stang I am now) I didn't spook or bolt or buck, I just stood still and tried to figure out what was going on! Mommy pulled softly on my right rein, I remembered that cue from long lining and shuffled to the right. Then she used the left rein, I moved to the left. Moving to the right About to move to the left for the next 15 minutes we practiced this back and forth, the more we did it, the more Mommy started to cue me more with her legs and less...

BRIDGET THE BRINDLE!

I not sure about the horses you guys know, but I LOVE COWS! And not just Smarty the dummy steer..but the real thing too! They are fascinating little guys. I enjoy hanging out with all the cows and steers here at the Ranch, but I do have a favorite. There is an old, red, brindle cow that lives in a "big apartment" with the young roping steers as a nanny. Mommy and I don't know if she has a name or what it is if she does. So we call her Bridget, Bridget The Brindle.    Bridget The Brindle Now, I get along with pretty much ever animal I come in contact with!  Birds, Lizards, Dogs, Rabbits, Goats, Fish, Mules, Squirrels, Butterflies, it doesn't matter, I LOVE EVERYONE!! It was obvious from the first time I met Bridget that we were going to be friends! Whenever she sees me she comes to the "front yard" and waits for me to walk over and say "Hi"   then she greets me with kissies! Kissies from Bridget Sometime...

SOMETHING NEW SATURDAY!

Image
Hello, As you may have guessed by the title of this post, today I experienced something new! But come to think of it...I have crossed a few other mile stones this week as well. For example, on Thursday I wore a big girl saddle pad for the first time ever! Which was a big deal! But today's mile stone trumps Thursday's! DRUM ROLL PLEASE......... Can you guess what it is?...............I WORE MY FIRST BIT! You see, Mommy bought me a raw sweet iron, 5", loose ring, snaffle bit by Weaver Leather off the Internet but since it has not arrived yet she asked a friend if they had a plain snaffle we could borrow. Would you believe our luck, they did!! Mommy's friend Kim, handed her an old headstall with the bit attached to it and asked if it would work. "I don't know let's find out" Mommy responded. She headed over to where I was standing patiently at the tie rail (like a little angel pony), with the headstall draped over her arm....
