Just hangin out


Well yesterday morning was Friday the 13th, and our playday took place at Sue's house. It was a lot of fun for me. I got to hang out with Tia, a teeny little arab. She is such a good girl, she offers, offers, offers. You dont have to ask that little one to do anything. I took some really nice pics, of Jayda holding her, and the next thing you know she is jumping a big log, all on her own. I was sitting there and there was a little bit of grass on the one side so instead of her walking around to get it, she decided just to jump. It was so cool. She is the complete opposite of any horse i have ever dealt with, i had no idea that they would offer something like that. I am used to having Freya offer to get away before i catch her. lol. After i hung out with Tia for a bit, we went in for lunch, and then i had to get going. I had a big girl with blown up back legs i wanted to check on. I headed out to check her, and pretty well ignored her. That didnt work so i tried bribery that seemed to do the trick. I basically hung out with her as well, as her back legs were still big, i didnt want to do too much. I rubbed her all over including her back legs :) and then i took her to the tractor tire and lined her up like i was going to get on. I again rubber her all over and was massaging her neck and back and then i layed across her, as much as i could. My feet were still on the tire, wasnt that brave to do it without anyone around. I just spent over a half hour just loving her. She is so beautiful.

  1. Good for you to work on your bravery and pre-riding skills. Have you watched the fear DVD from the Parelli's yet? It really is great. I have been really advancing with Knightly, until this snow arrived. I am not confident to ride in the snow, yet, but hopefully, tomorrow I will. You are such and inspiration!
