Fun with my pony.

So yesterday I decided I was going to go the bareback route.  I have ridden him bareback but I have never felt very comfortable on his slope like back.  I am happey ot say that I must have really improved my seat, balance and whatever else goes into staying on the back of a horse.  We did some nice trot work and even attempted to canter and made a lap around.  Today I didn't have much time before it was going to get dark.  I roped my husband into do a photo op.  They didn't turn out the way I'd imagined but I am happy with them from a guy that knows nothing about photography.

  4. Thanks everyone I saw the lighting outside and I just had bought the dress I was like a mad woman trying to groom him and get out there before we lost the lighting. And yes I was bareback, in a dress, without a helmet, not at all sensable but it was onlyf or the photos and it was very short lived. I told my husband, get the camera ready cause I am going to canter and you better take it fast..lol. It was fun and I am glad I have them and both Ryan and Steady were good sports about indulging my craziness...lol

  5. Those are awesome! I love that canter shot! Looks like so much fun. I always love cantering bareback. It's easier to sit the canter bareback than the trot, but man if they stop hard it hurts lol. :D
