Weekend Rides

Friday night was fun.  Raining cats and dogs outside the arena and Bailey and I having fun.
The weather was not helping me make up my mind to go to the barn late Friday night.  But, finally I decided to go around 7:30 pm.  We did some great work going over the small barrels sideways.  She was really doing a great job and we were both very proud of our work.  Worn a little bareback,  but because she was not out all day on Friday there was a little more horse than usual and I had to stop the trotting.  There was some good work accomplished.

Saturday I went to the barn and helped Jo work with Doc and really noticed that he was getting much  better at the games.

Farrier came and Bailey was a little toot.  Didn't want her feet done and was trying to bite me.  Kenny was very good with her and finally we did managed.  She is going to wear a size 2.5 in the Easy Boot Glove.  Kenny helped me fit her and it looks good.

Jeryln called and gave me the phone number of Deb Abbock.  They have an opening for The Fort Worth Parade of lights this Friday.  There is an extra costume and all we have to do it be able to wear bells, and a skirt over her rear end.

I am so excited to be able to go with these girls and learn the ropes.  Finally, something to do with Bailey.

Sunday night I went to the barn and put bells on Bailey and she was very good about them.  Lights didn't bother her either.  I then got the western saddle out and we got the breast collar on and bells and rode around the arena.  She is good with all of this.  Put lights on the Carrot Stick and plastic bag, nothing she is a Super Star. 

Got a black cowboy hat to wear and we will be set to go.

Tonight I was trying to get Bailey to go to the end of the arena where there is water standing and walk through it.  She was not doing it.  Kept going sideway around it.  Finally, I decided to just sit tight and wait for her to figure it out.  We waited not too long and I asked her again and she went through it.  This was so  much better thanb getting her upset to go through it.  Patience is what I need to work the program.

Four more days until the parade.
