We did it!!!


I knew God created Half time for something!!! I managed to get my Hub and his friend to witness the big event during half time of the first football game of the day. I was more nervous that I expected to be, but I knew that he was ready, and I knew that I needed to work through my issues. It was amazing!

I tell ya, being up there was like being on top of the world! Through all our trials and tribulations in this journey we did it! We DID IT!! It's such a fantastic feeling.

Henry was perfect! Minus one semi nervous moment. He recovered quickly and was so calm like he had been ridden a million times before. If I wasn't smiling so wide right now I'd probably start crying! It is so nice to be at this point together! We make a great team!

Stay tuned for more riding time as this is sure to become more interesting. His treeless saddle will be here soon and then there isn't one single reason I won't be out there everyday!!

This is the best thing since birthing my kids. seriously!

He Did it!!!


Henry had his first official ride today. He was such a perfect gentleman! I knew that he was beyond ready to be ridden but it took a little tiny ultimatum to get his trainer to see things my way!!

I am still planning on riding, or sitting, on Sunday and am more excited than ever now.

I am just so proud of this guy!!!

Muuuuuuuuuuddddd

Mud sucks. My back is pissed. After all my efforts yesterday, I woke today to find more effin mud. Wasted efforts, and now no clue what to do. Pea gravel, or hog fuel I assume, but I don't understand how that stuff works. If the ground is saturated how does the gravel help? Seems it would just get misplaced or float away.

At least the shelter stays dry. That's a huge relief!

What?

What? You need pics of Henry? Well, humf, if I must then here you go.

My horse is cuter than your horse!! :) See, isn't he the handsomest Horse in the world?
This is him saying "Dinner Please" Yes, he uses manners!


And to prove he's the best in the west. My horse let me pull his tooth out. What will your horse let YOU do??

Seriously, the tooth pulling thing had me smiling for a week. If that's not a horse trusting you than I don't know what is!!!
