Quick update
| January 16, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Just want to reassure everyone that I’m alive and well. I have a CRAZY schedule lately. School has been awesome – lots of field trips and the four person class is just as great as I thought it would be. It’s just been really intense since Monday.
Tig has settled well and I climbed on her for the first time tonight. Felt the pressure to get that first ride on the books since the clock is ticking on the week and I have 3 rides to get in (and of course I was crazy excited to see exactly what I’ve got).
After a MILLION tack adjustments and swaps I *finally* was able to climb on near the end of our session. The final consensus? REALLY green…..but a REALLY good mind.
We are still feeling each other out and getting to know each other, but even through the challenges of today (after dark, I suspect her first time in a lighted area, a major tack snafu early on in the session, was moved today to her permanent pen) I felt good about swinging my leg over, which I can’t say of a lot of 3 year olds going on 4 that haven’t been ridden in ~1 month.
I have so many thoughts and emotions flooding through my brain and just not enough brain juice to spit them out coherently on paper, so I’m headed to bed.
Youngster fun!
Yay for a really good mind!
I’m so excited for you!!
