There wasn’t a western or English girth that fit him, so I rode bareback. The bareback pad didn’t even fit him. I made it work though.
I walked and trotted a little. He wanted to canter, but I didn’t let him.
I slipped when he tried cantering, but I grabbed his mane before I fell.
I’m getting a girth on Tuesday, so I should be able to actually ride then.
I hosed him off because he was sweating, and he started drinking water from out of the hose. I’ve always wanted to ride a horse who did it because of how cute it is. The two horses that I’ve mainly ridden my whole life never did it.
I rode one for about 6 years. She was a Shetland pony named Pippa. Little demon.
The other was a welsh pony named Lenny. I rode him for about a year. My instructor was leasing him.
But now I own a horse and I am so happy. I’ve been wanting a horse for ages.
