I didn't get to ride yesterday - best laid plans of mice and men!!! I did go see the boys after delivering my cake. Barry and I delivered a cake in Colmesneil and then ate dinner at Carrabba's. We went out to the barn and I got to hug up the boys. They are so sweet!
Barry and I went out to the barn around 4:00 PM this afternoon. We brought the horses up to the washrack and got them tacked up. Barry took Sarge in the big arena and Red and I went into the little arena. I worked with Red jogging at a steady speed, turning which he is doing a good job on, stopping, side passing. He gave me some guff a few times on side passing but we keep working at it. He is getting better and I will keep working at it.
Barry was hauling hinney on Sarge and stopping. He said Sarge did a wonderful job today. Sarge is such a little show off but he did look gorgeous today.
I was watching him ride and I leaned down and tried to braid Red's mane in a French braid! Raquel used to try to show me how to do that and good golly...for the first time in my life I was able to make a running French Braid!!! I took a picture of it with my cell phone...I thought it looked pretty good. It wasn't real tight but I liked it. I will braid his mane when we ride at Ebenezer next weekend. I am going to braid a ribbon in it...a purple ribbon!
