Yesterday was so fun!!!

My horse is sort of lame so I am not doing to much on her. And because of that, I have just been riding her bareback, walking and trotting then putting her back out into the paddock. Yesterday however, after I was done riding, my mom was still not at the barn so I brushed her down, took her bridle off and her halter on. I went back to the arena and just chilled with her while some other people were riding. Then I made the rash decision to tie the lead like reins and get on. (Mind you, 4 years ago, I was terrified to even sit on Chica. She is known for rolling while your riding her, bucking, rearing, the whole nine yards.) And she was sooooo good! She backed up like a dream. Then we ended up going on a trail ride and it was awesome!
