Riding Log!
Apr. 30th, 2007 05:57 pmGot Alice to ride out with me. She rode Trump, I rode Minnie. Trump was his usual complacent self. Minnie surprised me - she was an angel. No, Really, she stood still for her brushing and tacking, did not give me any trouble with the bridle, stood better than usual for mounting, and then was quiet and didn't toss her head while we were out. We did a little trotting in the field, and she didn't get to feeling like she wanted to run. We jumped a little bitty log on the trail and she didn't rush before or after. Good pony! YAY!
