Rainy day and stuff from yesterday

Well I'll start with stuff from yesterday I s'pose...
First I played with and rode Belle. She was pretty good on the ground. Definitly testing my leadership but after a few minutes she and I were both having alot of fun. We played some more w/change of direction at phase 1 and 2... Now that we can do so many things I am starting to ask for them with lightness which is difficult for my LBI/LBE! :0)
I threw a bareback pad on her after that and hopped on. For the first few minutes she was PERFECT walk/trot. Extremely light, amazing. Then she went into a little spurt of "I'm gonna do what *I* wanna do... so please leave me alone dang it!"
So we played through it and in the end she finally calmed down and relaxed and we had a happy relaxed ending to our ride.
I played with Lizzy some and had a little girl over to ride her. It was fun!!


Today is was raining and not great horse weather. During a break in the rain I ran out and hopped on Liz bareback. We ran around in the drizzling rain with Belle galloping behind us. It was a TON of fun. We both got wet but it was so worth it. It was amazing when she kicked into a really fast gallop, faster then I have ever ridden her before. You have to forget about TRYING to be fluid and just BE fluid, just let go and go with the flow and flow with the go!! It's amazing.
That's it for now! Hopefully more tomorrow! :)
