7 RIDE REVIEW!


HELLO EVERYONE!!!!

Wow it has been a crazy week for me! I had my first 7 rides! As you may have been expecting, I was perfectly perfect for each and every one of them! It is important with baby horses to take things as slow as necessary!


I have been ridden around the ranch outside the round pen, up and down little hills, in the small arena, over the bridge, up to and in the roping arena!

First time RIDDEN over the bridge!


I have been exposed to al ot of different stuff already, I stood in the arena while my friend Cappuccino "Cappy" and his Momma ran barrels!...I took a nap.

Me & Cappy (also my first ever "from the back" photo)

Everybody was surprised I was so calm...well...everyone except my MOMMY! I trust my Mom and she trusts me, and I feel safe when I am with her whether she is on the ground or on my back!

 I STILL HAVEN'T BUCKED OR BOLTED!!! Nope, not even once! 

AND yesterday I even started to learn how to trot under saddle!!! 

I think I like riding, its new and exciting and I get LOTS of attention for being a good girl!!!

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....
