first time in a while riding


i went riding for the first time in over eight months. i have not had much training in riding. i manly clean the stalls. but hope to get more time to ride. i rode kwis for a hour and had a lot of fun. lesly walked her out to the field and the let her go. i started out a little nervous when she started to buck a little bit. i learned to keep my hands low down by the Saddle and her neck. and also where to put my legs and to keep my body straight. once Ive been riding for a while i got more conferable and i think she did to. i got her to canter and trout for a while. when we where done i rode her back to the barn and got the saddle and bit off and walked her back to the patchier.

  3. Good job on finding the time to ride. :) I can relate to most horse time going toward the stall cleaning instead of riding.

    I love the pictures.
