Took her trail riding today. :D

My daughter's horse went with me on a trail ride today, with people I didn't know well, in a location I hadn't been to. SHE WAS A ROCK. I was wishing she would relax. She did, her head went down, and she went right down into the warm sand, planning to roll. I bailed and rolled, and she had the grace to look embarrassed. On the UP side, she walked placidly when she had several horses barrel past her going full bore, and was looking -- Where are THEY going? Huh. Can we go, too? Yup. Ok -- trot, trot, trot. Do you want to canter? Nope, thanks - I'm fine at the trot, trot, trot. . . . . . I was really super proud of her, and it looks like our little resale project isn't going anywhere.

So how do these sneaky horses know just how to weasel their way into staying when they were "bought to sell"????

Glad you had a good ride, in spite of the attempted roll. Been there, done that, more than once. We always had to watch our ponies growing up, if you went through any type of dirt that was half way inviting. I still remember that knee buckling feeling....
