For the past two months now Reid and I have been going to Dr. Davis' to ride the horses. It's been a ton of fun especially since it is something we've decided we want to do when we are older and have a family. Well, this past Tuesday it was really windy, I mean really windy. We got the saddles ready to go, and Dr. Davis comes out and asks us if we still want to ride. We kinda hesitated (based on the fact that some horses can get spooked easily with the wind howling in their ears), and then decided not to ride after all. We did want to stay and brush the horses and just spend time getting more comfortable with them. Dr. Davis asked if we wanted to work them in the corral. Basically we stood in the middle and cracked a whip to get them to run at different speeds. We started with Banjo (the horse I ride), and he was doing really well, especially when Dr. Davis had the whip.
It was mine turn to try it, and when he realized that it was me doing it, he just walked right up to me and faced me.
We did a dance as I tried to get around to his butt, but he didn't want to work for me. Flicka, the horse Reid rides, worked very well for her first time.
We also did a little bare-back riding, but by then Banjo didn't really want to do anything anymore.
Reid is a real horseman in that jacket, all he needs now are the boots and a hat!
