Fancy made one of my dreams come true yesterday. She was eating grass across the dam. I walked started walking to the barn to get something. Fancy saw me and galloped to me. Good Lord! She left the herd and came to me! So I fed her and brushed her while she was eating. Plus, this was after an earlier group lesson where she had to exert a lot of effort for me. Again, what the heck!
Today, I took her into my newly mowed round pen after saddling her up. I took off her halter and got my horsemanship stick ready. I had given her no sign yet to move. She semi exploded and ran around, like she had not had any exercise for a year. What! Plus, the temperature is In the low 80’s. Again, What?
Soon, she became a ridable horse. We rode in the round pen, left and rode a short distance in the tree lined part of the past, left the pasture and road to end of the driveway. I figured this was a great time to quit and we rode back to the barn.
