Today was the first full day at the ranch. Woke up at 6 in the am..don't worry, I went to bed early, then drove to the ranch with Raleigh. Fed the horses, mucked out stalls then started getting horses ready for Fred. Cooled down the horses Fred rode, then tacked up more. Its a continuos cycle! Time passed quickly and it was lunch. We drove back to the house, yes it is that close, ate and drove back!
Now to the Bunns... Bunn is her name.. a little paint mare. She was Freds futurity horse at one time, now just pasture mate starting to become kids horse. She was assigned to me. Shes a dominant mare...typical...with big bunns..ie her butt! She hasn't been ridden in a while and shes my project. I rode her and shes awesome. The name Bunn suits her well.
Then I rode Glen the stud again. And had a lesson on sitting deep in the saddle..who knew dropping your weight and sitting deep was so hard!!! After attempt number 1...2...3...20 or so...I got it and I got it twice. Thats when Fred said to finally stop! I just love riding Glen..so powerful and calm. Nothing fazes him!
The day ended at about 6pm.
I was so close last night to packing up and coming home, but I didn't...of course you didn't think I would!
more later, off to shower and relax then bed!
p.s. it rained today..actually poured and its plus 17 right now!
