Then I got on. As if it isn't bad enough to be on an unbroke 3 year old but I also seriously felt like a fish out of water in the western saddle. I felt like I was flopping around and so loose! M snapped a video. It is blurry. Iphone videos always come out blurry when you send them phone to phone. But it is better than nothing. And yes feel free to give me a hard time about not wearing a helmet. I ALWAYS wear one at home. My western friends don't wear them and for some reason when I am over there I don't either. Tsk, tsk, shame on me.
He was really good. Whoa is his favorite word. He has brakes but we need steering before we venture out of the round pen and into the arena.
We have a forecast of rain for Friday and Saturday so likely no riding for me for a couple of days. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and get in lots of riding!
Yay for riding! And I will wag my finger once for not wearing your helmet! But I am admittedly a helmet-nazi, heh.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes it worse is I am too!! Wag away, I deserve it!
DeleteCool that you rode! I felt the same way when I rode western before.
ReplyDeleteWoooooot!! Riding! Look at Mr cool pants Luxxx!
ReplyDeleteI am a helmet advocate too but I never take mine with me places and I ride western at my bff's- not wearing it. I know it's bad but I seem to not wear one still, I wag my finger at myself.
Man that guy has a quiet seat and leg! I feel really foreign in a western saddle too - can totally relate.
