Horse Adventures part 2


Anne Marie and I went to my friend Mylissa's house to ride.  We fully intended to BOTH ride, but we could only get one horse to load into the two horse trailer (which we borrowed from a friend).  We wanted to take Fuller & Baylor- but both were wary of the trailer.  Dollar, on the other hand, has the most experience trailering (we assume this because he was used for polo and hunter-jumper before we got him).  Last week, our friend Kelly (in the orange shirt) came out to help us practice loading, and of course ALL the horses did great that day!  So, we just took Dollar, and Anne Marie was SO sweet in encouraging me to ride, and she was content to walk along and take pictures!  It was a GORGEOUS day, and I rode with Kelly, Mylissa and her daughter.  We rode on her property, and an adjacent property.  My horse, Dollar, was acting up and not listening to me- this is the first time he has been off of our property in the year we have had him, and it's not unusual for a horse to be unsure of new surroundings.  So, Kelly rode him (she is VERY knowledgeable about horses, as is Mylissa)- Dollar knew that Kelly would make him obey, she has so much experience.  I rode Scott, Mylissa's horse, and she rode Kelly's horse!
