little grey arab ChinaGirl did awesome today. I may have even managed to kinda sorta learn how to post. and.....we did a wee canter. didnt even turn into a gallop which for her is huge. even more significantly, she didnt bite me or run me down and I managed to bridle her in one easy shot.

in two weeks we have an sca horse practice at the barn. I think I'll bring her out for a bit and see how she does.

also, the barn owner has a horse in residence who's looking for a leasor. Big rangy copper colored thoroughbred gelding named Mercury. apparently he's an eventing whiz. I have to admit I dont have a lot of experience with TBs... it will be interesting to test drive him and see what its like. the hottest horses I've ever ridden before are arabs and theyre their own whole different thang I know.

still, a good day at the barn. a couple more hours saddle time and I may have this posting thing nailed. Prgoress was made with China on ground manners accepting the bit and maintaining gait under saddle.

go me :)

Way to go with China. It is great you two have each other. I think you both click so well. TB's are not that different from any other horse. They get a bad wrap just like Arabs. Every horse is different in its own unique way, just like people. Just because they are one breed or another does not make them "hot". Don't support horse racism!

she is a doll (well, when she's listening and calm. the other times she's kinda a freakazoide ;)), and I hope you get to meet her at the practice in two weeks!!
