We did the five minute bareback trot this evening!!! My thighs are going to thank you tomorrow, Denise. There's nothing flat around here, so we went up and down hills around Jason's Loop to get in the whole five minutes. It felt GREAT! As we headed out for the trot, 
we also neck reined - another thing that we have been practicing for a long time, and we finally now have the hang of it. 
It's a good thing, too, because I needed a free arm and hand for balancing and grabbing a handful of curly mane now and then during our bareback jaunt. Also, I want to mention ~ a big thank you to Denise ~ because there is a certain bridge out back that I haven't crossed in years because of MY fears, and Didder and I crossed it (bareback, nonetheless) twice tonight. I'm not sure I would have ever worked up the guts without that extra little push from her to challenge ourselves.
