We were supposed to go riding with Ray and a big group today but this morning it was COLD - it was 30 something degrees with a wind chill in the 20's. Later it warmed up and cleared up. We went to the barn about 1:45 and the wind was still blowing and it was chilly chilly chilly. I tacked Red up and it is easy to mount with this saddle. It didn't slide. We rode in the arena for about 15 minutes or so. I had Barry tighten up my girth as it has loosened. Lee Anne and I then rode out into the back. Red behaved very well but he refused to step over the little fence. I kept trying but he refused. Hummm. I really like the new saddle - it is very comfortable. I still haven't found my perfect rhythm when posting but I am working on it.
When I got back to the barn I was able to get off without the saddle slipping. I groomed Red again - he was a pig. I trimmed his bridle path and trimmed his wiskers. He looked so pretty. I took a picture with my cell phone of him in his saddle today and I will post when I get it downloaded.
