Of a GREAT little ride!
After all of the clean up and emptying the large outside freezer, defrosting it, cleaning it, moving it from the collapsed shed to the back porch and filling it back with the contents, I managed to find time to ride. I rode little Shadow in the round pen with an English saddle. I have had the saddle for a couple of yrs now but have preferred the western ones. I may change my mind! That little saddle was VERY comfortable! I have been riding bareback this week in the round pen to strengthen my leg muscles and to improve my balance. Haven’t fallen off, yet! LOL
So, today was the day…. the day I rode Ruskie, my Arabian.
And here is the Evidence!
He is such a dream to ride! SO SMOOTH!! But, then after riding Shadow, who has a pointy back and the CHOPPIEST of gaits, Ruskie felt like a cloud! I have been riding Biggin, the big quarter horse to regain my confidence and it really showed today on Ruskie!! I rode Biggin on a six mile trail ride a couple of weeks ago and on shorter, closer to home, rides since. MAJOR milestone for me today!!
YAY ME!!
Been very busy here since the weather has warmed up and the snow and MUD are gone. Lots of yard clean up to get ready for new barn roof…. these were taken during breaks in the work….. I call them Eye Candy
