I got mad at him.
For pretty much no reason.
I was expecting... I don't even know what, but when I didn't get it I felt myself kind of get angry and then I had to get off and sit on the mounting block while Danny tried to eat my boot and think about it.
I couldn't figure it out so I decided to be done for the day. I think I haven't been riding him enough and so a lot of his sensitivity is gone, which normally I would be very patient with. Perhaps I'd used all my mental focus for Tango and Kat earlier.
I turned Kat and Tango out together which was greatly entertaining because Tango really wants Kat to love him. She's not so certain about him though.
Hi guys! I look ridiculous from this angle! |
Look how beautiful and dirty I am! |
I'm just trotting around, showing off for Kat |
These next few are of Tango being "playful" |
Derp |
"but kat why don't you love me?" |
Tango's bringing all the moves |
I love this mare's neck. |
"I'm tired." |
I adore the expression on Kat's face |
I'm legitimately frightened of that goat. |
This is a photo of Kat being afraid of said goat. |
hrm bummer about the not-great ride on Danny. i definitely know that feeling (an applaud your decision to just call it a day!) also, yea Kat and Tango are adorable playing around like that
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I knew it was the right call but I couldn't help but feel a little down on myself - like I was giving up or failing Danny.
DeleteLovely photos! Sorry to hear you didn't have a great ride on Danny. I ride Apollo and occasionally a lesson horse and I have a really hard time "switching gears" between them. When I'm riding Apollo exclusively we are in sync a lot more but I have a lot to learn from the lesson horse. Hope your next ride on Danny is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI can totally understand that. It's part of why I love my job, I get to ride so many different horses and try to serve each of them the best I can. And sometimes I glitch out and really can only ride my own horses.
