And tonight was my first official fall off the new boy. Go team! We were trotting along, perfectly happy, round and forward and lovely, when mister OTTB caught sight of something out the window and darted inside. Since I was completely caught off guard, I found myself standing in front of him, holding my reins, wondering how I got there. Whoopsie! Luckily 15.3hh is not too far to fall from. And I'm a pro at sticking my landings. Needless to say, mister 'oh my god everything is now SO scary' continued to spook around the ring for a while until he realized mom was not going to fall off again, and thy he should just buckle down and do some work so he could be finished for the night. Horses are ridiculous.
Tomorrow we'll have another ride, then a good lunge Saturday night before our lesson on Sunday. Eventually I may get around to blogging about last week's lesson, but it was a bit of an epic fail on my part due to extreme exhaustion (note to self, lessons after working a 12 hour day of manual labor are not a good idea)
Until next time, here are some more pictures of the handsome Reformation.
