You can do it:')
LOL.
Well, I still get nervous at the faster pace. It's a mind thing. We even talked about that today. I use to not really enjoy riding with Celia because she likes to move. I don't know why but I've always thought if a horse was going to get silly it would be when it was moving. But you know, everytime but one, when I've been dumped it was at a walk. LOL. I beginning to believe Celia that when they're moving they don't get as silly because they're paying more attention to what they are doing.
Harley starts out kind of hyper, and wants to horse race when you get to moving faster. But after about the first hour he'll hit a stride and keep it pretty well. He still is wanting to break to a lope which is OK, IF I tell him too. But when he decides to lope on his own, I've got to slow him down. Lopeing (from what I've been told) is easier for them then the long trot. If I'm by myself we lope often. But when you're riding with other horses it can turn into a race, and can get hard to slow them down. But Harley is catching on.
