I took out my dad's horse, Elena, on Saturday and at first was a little nervous. It has been almost 2 years since the last time I rode. I went for a ride close to home, which usually always brings problems, but it was a nice refresher course I suppose. She almost lost me off the back when some pheasants or chuckers flew up from nowhere and frightened both of us, but I stayed on and the rest of our ride was...well... a lot more lively.
Then on Wednesday I convinced Dad to come with me and we moved some cows to another pasture,
(well the lame one at least). Then I switched Horses with my dad, Prancer is the calm one, and took Big T for a ride. Of course we went riding on one of the coldest days so far, but the sun helped. I bundled Big T all up and he resembled the little boy in "The Christmas Story." He enjoyed it, well he was talking and wasn't crying so I take that as enjoyment!
Oh I miss riding a horse. I haven't done it a lot but now I can't at all! Casey is horribly allergic. The first time he got on one he was about T's age and they thought a bee stung him because he puffed up and his throat closed up so quick! They really are amazing gorgeous animals. I'm so envious! Thanks for sharing!!! :0)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about riding horses, I miss it so much. I am glad that you got to take Tristan riding, it looks like you had a lot of fun.
