Yesterday I saw a post where someone said they rode their horse. They posted a picture from the horse's back to "prove" the ride. I checked their pictures on their facebook page..oh, this was all on facebook. Same picture back in March. the SAME picture. I know the person is a chronic liar. Could not resist. Grabbed the camera and Cal and went over to the barn and saddled up Whisper . I rode her on August 11 last year. I think I rode her once after that. So, her first time this year, Saddled her, bridled her, led her out used my trusty mounting stool and rode her . Gave the order and he opened the gate for me. Out of the yard and down the road we went. She rode off like she had been ridden regularly. No surprise. She is a little tender on the rocks so she will need shoes if I plan on any long jaunts with her. She is a perfect little girl.
She is a wonderful horse. No fuss no bother. she is even going down to pasture on her own now.
Sorry I am not smiling. but I am happy. Oh, I have lost weight.
