first ride of the year.

[FreeStyle08]

Ok well the weather has been so bad I havent been able to ride for about 3 months. today was the first ride in about 3 months.

baby was feeling REALLY good because he hasnt even been able to go into the pasture to play so he had energy to burn. since he was feeling so good and I could feel him wanting to go into a canter which i wasnt going to let him becuase of the snow it was to deep and I didnt needing him steping wrong and getting injured if he desided to buck or something. so I take him in the drive way and soften him up and work on a few leg yeilds and a few other warm up things. after a few minutes he started really responding to my leg and I asked dad if he could watch and see if he was leg yeilding right or half lazy like and all the sudden dad eyes got really big and his mouth droped to the ground and he was standing there in amazement becuase baby was tracking straight as an arrow and his hind and front feet were in unison with each other.

I stop him and really prase him and dad comes over and tells me baby looked like he was dancing and that someone was moving his feet for him. and i showed mom since I had to work on it the other way and she was saying the same thing it looked like he was dancing because he had a prance in his step as he was doing it.

IM SO HAPPY dad has seen a lot of leg yeilds and has worked a lot with horses and he said thats probebly one of the best most percise leg yeilds has ever seen. and dad wont tell you something if its not true. ;D ;D

im so happy with baby and every thing I cant wait until the the snow melts and I can set up my arena and start riding regularly.

im sorry nikki, but so fair the weather here has been good and ive been able to get in EXCELENT rides.

the other day me and mom went out I started out on wizard and mom took monument, dad and daughter that are almost identical besides some of the markings and mony is way taller. then mom wanted to ride wizard since she hasnt had a chance so I get baby and we decide to play tag. im bareback and baby loves playing tag since we are chasing each other and it gives the horses a chance to play but in a safe way that we can control. but me and baby turn around (more of a small spin) but wizard desides to start cutting him LOL mom was like WOW he just cut baby like he was cutting cows. but me and baby excapted before mom could get close enough to us.

then this morning we are sitting on the couch watching parrelli naturalhorsemanship and mom was telling dad about the tag game, and she goes man I wish i had the seat that Jbug has so to make her feel better I go you do, remember when I was little and I couldnt even hardly walk with out hanging on to the horn and I would scream bloody murder if they did something that I didnt like (yes i was a big CHICKEN about riding and i would screem if I was walking and they decided to trot or shake there head or kick at a fly under there belly LOL) im out of that now though. they can do just about any thing and i will usualy give them a sharp kick and tell them to nock it off or something.

but moms like you should have seen yourself you looked like you were stuck to him with super glue, he was wanting to buck and stuff and she said that my butt never left his back once wile riding. and she goes now I think thats the only thing you can thank john for (my biological father) he has a really good seat on him, but I have seen a lot better.

a lot of people have told me if im expecting them to do something stupid i can stay with them through any thing but its when they catch me off gaurd that i find my self coming off sometimes. unless I get off. aka emergency dismount (ED)

which dad goes ive seen her do that ED lots of times. (he was teasing me meaning 60% of the time i get bucked off and 40% im smart and get off before it to that) becuase baby and other horses I ride get purty right brained meaning they what to do there own thing and they go who cares if someones on me. like taking off with a rider is veary right brained. its there flight responce instead of there calm munching on grass state or left brain. then you can get into introvert and extrovert but that kinda hard to explain since im still learning about it. but its differant responces they have when there right brain and left brain.
