Hey guys sorry for not posting for almost a week!!!! Well the last week has been really busy. So the night I last posted, I got up from the computer, went into the living room and went to go to the kitchen, and guess what I happend to step on? I stepped on a thumb tack. Not fun, Nick (step-dad/emt) pulled it out and cleaned it, so were all good, my foot hurt for about 2 days, but I could still walk around on it. So lately I have been riding almost every other day. Chuck is losing so much weight!! When we first got my saddle, I could barley get the girth on him and could get 1 hole on one side and 2 holes on the other, now I can get up to 3 holes on each side! As of right now Chuck gets around 2-5 hours of ride time a week, our sessions normaly run about a hour each time. So, here in another week or so, I will be gone for 4-5 days, we are going to South Dakota!! I am super excited because my step sister and I are going on a scenic trail ride through the Black Hills!! I love seeing the Black Hills, but seeing it by horseback will be an amazing experience. I DO plan to do this many more times when I am older and have a family of my own and I will take my own horses, but this will be a first for me! So, I have some videos to upload! Here they are!!
Above is a video of some mounted shooting at the State Horse Fair, It takes a good calm steady horse to compete in this sport.
Below is a video of me riding Chuck
Above is a video of the horse section of our local summer parade and below is a short video of Nick riding in an english saddle for the first time!
