Ziggy The Super Horse!

I've had six total rides on Ziggy now and he has been an absolute doll! All of my rides have been incredibly short (under 10 minutes) with mostly walking and a little jogging. However the last two we attempted the canter - more successfully on the sixth than the fifth. Ride number five he just didn't understand what I wanted so we did a lot of trotting around with his legs going 100 miles per hour. Last night was MUCH improved, which was a shock since on ride five I only got about 5 strides total (although I didn't try too hard.. the night consisted of getting my 5 strides, lots of petting, and then quitting). Last night we made it all the way around my (pretty large) arena before quitting for the night!

Anyway - here are some pictures from last night!

And finally, goodbye from Truceskie the barn cat!
