Sunday Morning Ride...

I just love this horse stuff.  This morning was great.  But heres a story from Fridays ride: I have to brag on my girl Flicka... she was awesome today/tonight. As I was riding her back to The Farm, we had alittle accident that could have turned bad, real fast... her back legs went down in a big hole I didnt see, thinkin back now I guess it was a pretty good hole, anyways she was goin down in it with me on her back, I didnt freak out, I guess instinct kicked in and I leaned forward and held on to her neck with all I had... I was not goin down, she got us out... it all happen so fast. We both did great and I Thank God Flicka or myself didnt get hurt and my friends were there with me... after that we rode perfectly back to The Farm. I loved on her, brushed & fed her. She is such a great girl (even if shes bratty with me sometimes). I love her. She wont be my last horse but she will always be my first love in the horse world!

ps I know all I'm posting about is horse stuff lately..... one day I will get back to posting about chickens, guineas, ducks and goats, lol

Flicka Time

Went to The Farm this morning and spent about 4 hours with Flicka.  She did pretty good today, its been 3 days since I've spent time workin with her.  She tested me more than a few times, but I know thats to be expected for awhile... I'll just keep at it.

Cowgirl Up...

 I'm pretty freakin proud of myself and my Flicka. Went to "The Farm" earlier and I was all by myself... I got Flicka out of the pasture without lettin any of the other 7 horses out too, brushed her, saddled her up, walked her out of the barn and got in the saddle, she tried me but I made her stand there... then I made her walk up and down the road with me bring the boss, goin further every time. Then I decided I was gonna make her go on the only lil trail I know on "The Farm"... we did great. I worked with her alittle over an hour. Took her back in the barn, unsaddled her, brushed her again, put her in the stall, alittle grain then back out into the pasture... again without any of the other horses breakin out, lol. I was kinda worried about that... I didnt wanna have to call my friends and say the horses are running everywhere, lol

"We Got This!"

Horses and Friends

I love that Flicka is bringing new friends into my life... 

For 2 evenings now Flicka and I have been working on her leaving the barn and other horses with just me. I'll ride her up and down the road... first evening was ok, yesterday evening was alittle better. I'm so thankful that my friends are helping me.
