It was a good rice on pony today. My sister picked me up and she took me to some trails I had never been to.
It was a hot 80* today. We rode along the trail and up a hill. Once we got to the top there was a nice strong breeze that felt so good. Then Little Man decided he wanted to pee, but he wouldn't, I got off and lead him a ways, but he was still being too shy to pee. He kept looking back. So, we decided to turn around and go back to the pond we had passed. The horsies had fun splashing in the pond, they wanted to roll in it, but we did not feel like taking our saddles off and letting them roll. We headed back to the trailer. I walked almost the whole way, from the top of the hill, to the pond, and almost to the end of the trail.. I finally was so tired I got back on and rode the rest of the way. I unloaded at my house and my DS went on her way. The horse she was riding was neighing and neighing for pony, but he didn't care. I hosed him down, fed him so he wouldn't roll right away. Then he realized, hey, that horse did not follow me, where is he? And he ran and bucked and whinnied for a few minutes. It was funny, and I always think he's so pretty. A little later I went out there and brushed him and he stood still, even dropped his head while I brushed away. That was a good thing cuz he usually runs away. So, Little Man is getting to trust me more and more!!
My sister was on a different horse today, one she is exercising for a friend. He is about 14 years old, and can't really run anymore. So it was a nice quiet walking ride.
A good day!!
