No pics. Only one for Becky of her bit. I went to get her. She came to me about half way across the pasture. I tied her (and Okie) to the outside of the round pen and groomed them. I groomed as long as I could, putting it off. The owner came out and she rode her in the round pen first. She said she checked my blanket and saddle and they were fine. She watched me tack her up and said all ok except I'm giving her way too much slack on the reins when mounting and if I let her drop her head like that I'm setting her up and not going to be able to control her if she started. Anyway she rode her awhile and Sarah Lee did just fine. Then gulp, my turn. No problems though. The owner said the horse was as scared as I was. Of course all this done under Okies watchful eye. The horse acting like her regular self. No fussing touching her back side or anything Go figure. I did stay in the round pen. It was getting dark and I wasn't really so interested in riding than making myself mount up.
Well, good. I have always admired your courage! Play it cool for awhile, ride in the arena and be conservative till this is a faint memory.
Is five considered mature or is it more of an individual horse thing?
