Flickas Back Home

Flicka came back home on the 16th and I'm just now gettin around to sharing that...

Flicka and Pepper Meet

  Flicka & Pepper together for the first time...

 Arent these pictures so sweet of them!!! My friend Alyssa (who lives at the farm and also trains/works with the horses and who I ride with all the time now)... took these pictures for me when she put my horses together in a pasture she said they did great... they're already friends. I love it!

I'll be goin to "The Farm" tomorrow to see them and maybe ride a few horses, 

who knows maybe I will work with Pepper

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!"

My First Girls Day Trail Ride

 I went on my first Girls Day Trail Ride yesterday... it was great and I met some really nice people. Very proud moment of the day... Gettin on Flicka before the ride all by myself without her tryin to walk, she just stood there like a good girl, Woo hoooo. We have been workin on that alittle lately. I got off her a few minutes later, did a few things then got right back on her to see what she would do, she did great... Go Me, lol. Flicka and I have learned a lot this week since shes been at my friends house... we both still have lots to learn but I'm so glad we are finally gettin somewhere. 

My daughter went on the ride too, thats her braiding Flickas mane

 I was testing her... to see if she would leave the barn area and the group 

Flicka with some of her new friends...

Arent they pretty.

Saturday evening with one of my best friends

 ~ She knows when I'm nervous, happy, mad, sad, or scared. She will keep my secrets. She's more then my mare, she's one of my best friends. She always puts a smile on my face. 

 Ya like my youngest sons redneck swimming hole, lol

I really need to suck it up today, go out there and get on her!
