Horse riding!

I got to go horse riding today!!!! YAY! I am doing a trade with a lady I know, I muck stalls and in return I get to ride! I will be doing this twice a week, and I started today! The work part is pretty easy (though dusty!) and doesn't take to long. I rode today for about an hour, so I'm really sore! I also got to clean out Big B's (the horse's name is Buckleberry, so we call him Big B for short) hooves and put on all of his tack (saddle, bridle, etc)!! I worked on trotting and going over the "bridge" that is in the corral. He was a bit testy at times and would not listen to my commands, but I showed him I was the boss, and he was pretty good. It feels so great to be back up in the saddle!!! I love horses soooo much!!!!!
