Oh right!!! I remember now She is only just learning much of anything, and we are just working on the lope movement/speed. Once she gets it down better, then we'll work on different speeds, etc

Yep, she is a youngin' lol, but she's great, and I love the way that she looks back at you when you're brushing her (she absolutly loves being brushed) like 'Hey whatcha doin'?'


Ok...I lied...no pictures yet A couple of the horses got out, and we were caught up in trying to get them caught and we just plain forgot about getting the camera out (don't worry, the horses were caught...with the help of a bucket of graid). I'm going up about every other day, and we'll most likely be up tomorrow, and I promise this time there will be at least one picture
