Of course, one first has to mount the horse to be back in the saddle... I made it half-way up and realized I couldn't do it! How scary, how humiliating! Sure, Cheyenne is a bit taller than my Haffies - but he isn't THAT big! I need to start working out - lifting weights so I can lift the saddle with ease, and step class so I can get in the saddle with a bit more grace!
How fun!! I've never ridden a gaited horse. Nice to hear you got back in the saddle, sounds like you'll be doing more - a win for all concerned. I've always enjoyed your equine posts :)
ReplyDeleteFun! I would like to try riding a gaited horse. Nice to see you riding :)
ReplyDeleteBet you loved the ride. My first horse was a TWH, talk about gliding. Even when doing a 360 it was smooth as silk!!! His 360's are the reason I know longer have him. Much prefer my darling Haflinger.
ReplyDeleteNice! Don't feel guilty about using a mounting block...the horses appreciate it! I'll bet it makes you miss your boys.
ReplyDeleteYou may just have to park the horse by a fence and climb on.
ReplyDeleteI know this felt good. Glad you had an opportunity like that.
So glad you got back in the saddle again!
ReplyDeleteBut didn't it feel wonderful?
