How did you mess up the saddles? Did you read my post where i am getting a bareback pad for $10! I am going to get DJ to lead reign me (like a baby) round the pasture so that i can learn to control my movements and balance. (when the mares are fit enough).

Today was not going smoothly. Sarah Lee did not like Eddies saddle. We are way past this but she put up a fuss when I put it on her back and when I cinched. I took Eddie and my fenders off to switch and couldn't get them threaded back trhu the wood (tree?). She decided to be horsey with lunging too. The owner helping me with a new bridle and I look over and Sarah Lee gnawing Eddies blanket. It just wasn't hers. On days like this I have learned from previous experience that it's better to just stay out of the saddle. The trainer couldn't get my straps re-started either so I told her I just wanted to wait until Thur. She just looked at me and told me she would loan me a saddle. I told her, nah, I didn't want another saddle. She told me fine, you need to learn to ride bare back anyway, it will help you. I'm thinking here I was worrying about DH . There is no way but I went and got my blanket. She told me you won't need that. I'm thinking I'm in big trouble but I climbed the rail and stepped on and grabbed the mane. She told me to get my hands off the mane. big gulp.She walked holding the lead rope about 15 minutes. I told her that maybe next time she could let the rope go. She said why not now. Oops! I did good though as long as I talked. Her, the horse, just talk. Just God, me , and the horse:')
