She was at the pond up by the hwy so after work I stopped up there and let Nate take the car on home. I always keep a rope halter and lead in my car for just such occasions because I like to catch Levi's mom, Satin, and just jump on bareback and go for a ride sometimes. :)
Anyway I got Levi caught up and lead her up the road to where the horse trailer is at my dad and mom's place, not quite 1/2 mile. Did a quick brush, saddled and bridled her. I left her untied and she did great just standing there for her saddle and fly spray.
I got the longe line and longe whip out and did a little work on the longe line first which she did well but the round pen and the lower pen are in dire need of mowing!! I climbed on and we started out slowly, got her moving forward then did some circles and stops and backing. What a good girl she was!
I then took her in the yard and rode a bit. Here is a picture of us in the reflection of my husbands parts Nova, I didn't have a photographer as both kids were busy so this is what you got LOL, hopefully tonight I will have a photographer.
I then lead her around abit after our ride to cool down some as she got a little sweat going, so did I for that matter LOL. We then walked to my house taking the scenic route by the chicken pen, trampoline, outdoor bread over/cooker and the big picnic tables LOL.
Then is was time for the rinsing of the sweat marks. She jumped at first but as she like to play in the water she calmed down and kind of enjoyed it a bit.
Then I turned her back out to the pasture and she enjoyed some grazing with her momma. :)
Hopefully we will be doing some more tonight and maybe her first road ride by the weekend if I can get the kids to go. Josie on Jakers and Nate will either ride his new horse or Satin...but it will probably be Satin :).
