I am being ridden regularly 3 times a week in the lessons. Each rider is different but they all like me a lot. My mom says that the lessons are good discipline for me and the riders make me mind my manners.
My mom is riding me 3 or 4 times a week as well. She is getting more used to me. I am quite happy and so is she.
Sometimes she takes me on the longe line. That is fun and I am learning to halt and stand still and change paces as my mom tells me.
Sometimes she even lets me loose in the arena to run around. Even then she still wants to be in control. When all is finished, I impress her and come to her without being told. Then I get lots of pats and I am told that I am a good girl. My ears certainly perk up at this.
I had a visit from the blacksmith last week. He was very nice. I have thrown off my shoes and I am going barefoot. My mom was quite happy with the bill from the blacksmith too.
I like the new bridle and girth that my mom bought for me. The girth is 4 inches shorter than the old one. The 48 inch one fits my slimmer waistline quite nicely.

Hi Vicki,
I rode Abra for my lesson last week. She has a very gentle nature and I enjoyed the change. I was covered in white hairs after I groomed her - it must mean that Spring is around the corner!!
