168 - First ride
today I sat on my own horse and walked him around.
very yay for me.
I could have waited for the boys and put them on first but I didn’t want to. The way I looked at it, if he acted up, what more could they have done than me… besides maybe hang on longer. So I grabbed Lindsey (who has been a little Godsend) and told her I needed help. She came over and saw Ami tacked up…. me putting on my helmet.
L: “What are you doing? Ur getting on?? Do J and B know?!?!”
Me: “No. It’s my horse.”
I did choose to do this while they were both occupied and couldn’t give an opinion. B ended up watching from the indoor arena but it was too far away to yell.
Anyhow he was awesome. I had Lindsey leadline me around the first lap just to make sure he was ok.
We lost the line, went around a few times and called it quits.
Tomorrow, we do more of that.
