Admittedly, I didn't take this picture....but I had gained weight over the winter and kind of lost my confidence. Today my friends at the barn didn't give me a chance to change my boots, put on a saddle or even put on a bridle. Flicka is riding with her lead rope tied into her halter....and WE DID IT! Will be out again on Wed for a ride :) Was a very big moment for me :)
Congratulations! I just got my round pen set up this morning and am building the confidence to get on a guy that has not been ridden in almost 6 years. I think a litle groundwork is due before I can hop on. Enjoy Flicka!
Great picture Kathy & worthy of an online photography "diary," - as you told me 'make this project what you want it to be.' Today's ride was most important in your day - congrats :) p.s. I got out today for a ride too.
@genesis_one@dh Flicka is a been there, done that type of horse. I am a beginner....took English lessons for a while and then bought a western horse....go figure! I have ridden her English, but she has such a smooth gait it is hard to feel the rhythm to post. LOL! Thanks for the comments :)
@hick haha! I'm a beginner but getting lessons. The saddle I have fits her, but not me....so right now it is bareback. Actually, improves my balance and strengthens my core...and I think she likes the contact :)
