The last few days have been interesting because my mom and I went for a night time ride and got to ride in the dark with only head lamps. On the that ride I rode Faith. She did amazing!! Usually she is very sensitive and a bit spooky but that night she was amazing!!! Along the ride a found some elk sheds. It was really scary and exciting at the same time!! Anyway I was very impressed by how well faith did on that ride, she was great!! Today was very fun because we went to Chisholm Ranch for a branding. It was a lot of fun because I got to round up cows and also go on a trail ride. On the trail ride I rode Storm. While riding Storm I worked on getting her collected (for those who don't know what collection means it's when you want a horse to round it's neck ) at a trot and I also worked on my lead departures. I had a lot of fun seeing old friends that hadn't seen in a while. I had a great day and I can't wait till tomorrows ride!!!

Today the weather was very odd because it was raining and then all of a sudden it started to hail. Until it started to hail I was riding Storm. While riding Storm I did some small circles at a trot and making them bend to the inside. I also worked on my side passing both directions and lead departures. It was a good day till it started to hail. That's I got to today, I am hoping that the weather will be nicer tomorrow and that I will be able to work with all three horses!!!
Today was an extraordinary day! For the most part I rode but still did some refreshers on the ground work from yesterday. I rode all three of them today. I started with Paris, then Faith, and last but not least Storm. while I was riding Paris I did a lot of small circles at a trot making her bend to the inside. little bit later I did some side passing in both directions and then practiced my lead changes. Then I rode Faith. while riding Faith I also did some small circles at a trot making her bend to the inside. Then I practiced my lead departures and my spins. For those who don`t know what a spin is, it`s when you spin them on there hindquarters. Lastly I rode Storm. Well hears the thing though, I rode Paris and Faith in a western saddle but instead of riding Storm in a western saddle I rode her in an English saddle. I think she did pretty well for being ridden in an English saddle. At the end of the day the girls got to wear there new slinkies. For those who don`t know what a slinkie is i shall tell you what I know. A slinkie is a leotard material that goes over there heads and ties under the belly. It has eye holes and ear holes and an adjustable nose hole. It is supposed to help make there mane and forelock grow. They look like ninja`s to me!:)
