After taking slightly more than a month off, I’m back to riding. After spending a good 10 minutes chasing the big guy around the yard, I finally haltered him and trailered up to go to the horse park. He was a little skittish, but calmed down after I lunged him for a bit. Got him tacked up, and rode him around in the round pen for a bit. Not much of a ride, I’ll admit, but we did walk and trot. I’m going to take him out to a friend’s place and practice doing barrels with him, as dear daughter and I are going to do the gymkhana with the Queen Creek Gymkhana Club (we signed up last week).
