I leave my right foot out of the stirrup, in case I have to make a quick dismount. With the long weekend coming up, I intend to get the grandson on her a time or two. He's braver than I am. She hasn't done a single thing to make me wary of her, I'm just old and cowardly... and I break easily.
She gets a bite of feed when we're done.
I love her coloring! She's a real beauty.
ReplyDeleteYou and Libbie are looking GOOD! I know what you mean about being cowardly and breaking easily!! ha! I have my Morgan in for some training, tune up, and I have to go ride him in front of the trainer and I hate cantering now as I am afraid I will fall off if he stumbles or something! Buddy always has been clumsy so I think I lost my courage to canter due to that!
ReplyDeleteGreat that you got a Dyson, I have been drooling over them for some time!
Thanks for the nice comment about Buddy and the foundering. It has sure been a battle!
libby is beautiful! we have horses in the neighborhood and my son just loves them.
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely, Donna. Did you happen to read about my less than graceful dismount off from Sunny a couple weeks ago? That right foot not in the stirrup didn't help a bit and I'm still suffering some pain in my ankle... Be careful!
ReplyDeletelooking great!
ReplyDeleteIm 38 yo, but as I get older, I am not near as brave (stupid) or flexible as I once was.....
I know what you mean about breaking as we get old! I know as I age, I want to ride a broke mount, I sure will not climb on one that I know is going to break in half! I am getting too old for that. About 6 months ago, I was riding my mare bareback (which I do all the time) and we had been riding about 20 minutes, all of a sudden she ducks her head and off we go. I was thinking, what in the world? Anyway, I rode her for a couple of jumps and then decided I should exit before this gets ugly, so I exited to the right. I layed on the ground for a few mintues, then got up and decided to investigate what the problem was. Well, back where she started bucking was about 6-8 wasps hoovering on the ground, I am assuming some got under her tail or bite her causing the problem. Because she is not one to buck. Anyway, long story, longer the next couple of days I felt the effects of it! Anyway, I just wanted to share one of my horse stories with you! By the way, you look great! She is pretty. I do not care what people say about mares I love mine! Have a great and blessed day!
