Quote of the Day: “I’m not bossy, I’m directive! I’m helping you”

______________________________________

Today during lunch, I went and rode. Emily had set up our back field with natural jumps. (For non horsey people, its just scary jumps made of various branches, logs, firewood, and generally un-inviting things). It’s different than riding in the safety of the ring and alot of horses aren’t keen on jumping out-of-the-ordinary obstacles.

I was trying to be cautious for 2 reasons - 1, although I did take Miss to the Moss Foundation, I don’t have alot of experience jumping ‘cross-country’ jumps and only one experience jumping with Miss over them. and 2, I had to go back to work and couldn’t afford to go back to work, mangled. or broken. or both.

People must be tired of me blogging about the awesome-ness of Miss or how much I like her. But indulge me one more time, my faithful readers (all 3 of you)….

It is a rare and special horse that has the heart that I feel on this mare. She is SMART, CONSISTENT, HARD WORKING, and KNOWS HER JOB.

Miss went over everything with confidence and ease, didn’t look at anything AT ALL.

Had fun.
