it was freezing out today, around 10F without windchill! so I took Lily out, and she was just full of it! snorting and jumping, so I let her just run around for awhile in the ring, wow she can buck! she stiffens her front legs just like a bronc and her kind end goes soaring! so I let her get that out. then I got on bareback with just a half-cheek snaffle, because thats what I'm starting her in because she is used to it because of driving in it. She was so good! we did an almost perfect canter figure eight, transitions almost right in the center. It was so nice!! then I took her down the road and trotted back up, she was still ready to go, but I really didn't want to over do it in the cold. and damn she can rear! she went straight up twice when I was leading her, it was really cute! The second time she was pawing the air, I though she was going to go over backwards! but she didn't thank god.
I think my friend Jen might show her with me this year, she would take her in equatation seeing as I don't like eq. (patterns stress me out!) and she is a multi national eq. rider on the arab circuit with her horse Khandle in The Wind and Night Flight DC, the second of whom she and her mother want me to show. So that would be really really fun! I am so excited to show! I CAN'T WAIT!!
