Winter Blues

As you can tell I'm not really good at updating this. I will try more.  Mr. Bass is a fuzz ball right now and very itchy.  I know his blanket makes him itchy but with the temperatures being as low as they were a few weeks ago he needed it. Now that the days are in the 40's he doesn't wear it, but he's still itchy.  I will get some more pictures and post them soon. 

I am a member on a horse forum, and while reading some posts about some members riding lessons, it made me reminisce about mine.  I started actual lessons when I was 8 years old.  I have ridden so many different breeds, and horses with unique personalities.  My favorite was a thoroughbred named Oberon.   I heard many of the other students complain about how lazy he was for them.  When I got on him though, he felt like a different horse.  His feet didn't click the cavalettis, he listened and actually seemed pleased to see me when I went to get him ready for my lesson.  There was a pony name Moon, she loved to jump.  If there were jumps in the middle of the ring you had to keep extra outside rein on her, or she'd veer to the inside and go straight for them. She was funny!

When I have some more time I'll add some longer stories about my lessons.

Have a great Friday!
