Hey Frog, how did your ride go this weekend...any bucking?

Nope, not even a hump in the back. I rode Hope and she just did great. It was a gorgeous day and warm enough that I made the whole ride in a short sleeved shirt. How often does THAT happen in January?! We rode close to 20 miles and kept it to a steady slow gait the whole time and she didn't give me a minute's trouble, aside from kicking one of the other guy's dog. He has this big ol' pretty Weimeraner that he usually brings and he ran right up behind her, right at the start of the ride and she nailed him pretty good. I didn't hear him coming or I could have probably prevented it. It didn't appear to do any real damage to the dog, but he yelped real loud and I'm sure it hurt like the dickens. I appologized profusely but he said not to worry about it, that the dog needs to learn that he can't just run up under any horse, and I guess that's true. I kept an eye on him the rest of the ride and we didn't have any more trouble. Hope's gonna make somebody a really nice little horse.
