We are up to ride 9!!!

Gosh we might be at 30 days by the end of the year!


I thought I was going to have a photographer to help me last night but she deemed riding dirt bikes with grandpa more important than riding. As if.

I did get this shot of her before she ran off on me though.

That is her practicing the belly up ROFL.

Now back to Levi... I caught her, ok that wasn't hard she was already waiting at the gate lol, took her up to the horse trailer to brush, saddle her and soak  her with some fly spray. The fly spray she greatly appreciated, I know this because she told me so with a nuzzle ;-)

We lunged some and did some ground work yielding fore and hind quarters, backing, flexing. She flexes good with the halter but still hasn't figured out the flexing with the bit lol. She will get it I have faith in her.

We then moved on to riding but with no photographer I will just have to tell you about it lol. Woohoo.. we trotted tonight while riding, in circles even.. and gosh is she c o m f o r t a b l e!! Well worth the wait. She did really well walking the poles and barrels again. Then we practiced  walking over poles.. telephone poles that is, we use old telephone poles for gate posts and we have several.

Also her first time with boots on .. yep she did the funny kitty with tape on the feet walk lol.





We then rode up the hill to the yard gate, and then proceeded to ride in the yard abit, doing pretty good, then the hay field. We did some wandering with turns and one rein stops then we did some sacking out by the horse trailer with big pink chunk of fabric and big 3 x 6 sheet of foam/plastic I got from work that the bodyshop takes off the new bumpers when they get shipped.

We then practiced loading and unloading in the trailer. I have some video of the sacking out exercises and trailer loading as well but I don't have them uploaded to youtube yet. Once I figure that out I will try to add them.

We then concluded our evening with a "shower" and some grazing lol.
