Awesome ride!

Rode bareback and dropped my reins and rode with the carrot stick on Ladee. She has the most trouble with freestyle because it puts a lot of responsibility on her quick little feet. Well we had the nicest ride! Barely had to pick up my reins and carrot stick use was minimal :)

Amazing day with Star!

Great horse day! I felt my nerves come up when I went out to catch her so I sttod to chill for a little bit and she came over to me :) That calmed me down. We moseyed to the pole barn and once inside did the figure 8 pattern and pushed the ball. She had a RBE/LBE horsenality today so it really challenged me to think quickly about how to adapt for her. Lots of lip licking and lots of blowing through her nose. When She looked calm I brushed and saddled. Saddling went well :) only had to put the saddle on twice and then the third time she was good. Played a lot once the saddle was on. Then we rode! Good ride. Focusing on teaching her to move her hind and front end with lightness. I ended by allowing her to play with and push the ball around! She got so into it that she would push it and trot after it! Hmmm I'm already dreaming up new ways for her to play with it :)
