Next, Chester and I saddle up for the RAC Obstacles - yeehaw!

Hello everyone,

My Chester is my rock and will be my companion in future ACTHA riding events. While he is a stallion and a proven good, Curly, daddy; he remembers I am a lady and treats me with respect both on the ground and in the saddle. 

So we decided to give the obstacles a try from the saddle. 

First, I admit it was a tad bit confusing for a barrel racing Curly fella to be asked to back through barrels. He kept saying, "But, don't we go around them?"

 The boxes were no big deal and he agreed "you never know when we might find one of these silly looking things on a trail ride".

 The balls were fine too!

As was the silly, crinkly, strange, sounding yellow caution tape.

And, the blue raincoat, well everyone knows we must be prepared for the weather on our trail rides.

 

So, when crossing the snake bridge I tried to remember my two point from English equitation. I was sure Chester would appreciated it but for a second I thought he might try to jump the bridge so back to that deep seat Harley Davidson mode for some smooth, calm, Western riding{:>
