I went horseback riding Thursday night! :) Shama gave me the contact info for a woman that has a horse she needs ridden. I went out, and the woman, Kirsten, played up Riley's spookiness and antics quite a bit. Yeah, he's a bit spooky, but for the most part, he's a big teddy bear, although he can be rather opinionated, lol. He's an 18-year-old Thoroughbred, and he seems to be the kind of horse that needs to be finessed and "asked" to do something, rather than demanded. He's very willing and smart, and he seemed to try hard to figure out what I wanted. Hopefully I can take some lessons on him... he's very good with lateral movements, so he'd be a good horse to learn from I think.
The weather has been so nice the past day or two, and I'm going on a ride tomorrow morning before heading to work. It's going to get pretty crappy tomorrow night, so it looks like I won't be doing the Sunday ride with hottie. ;) I'll also be driving back to Austin next Sunday, so I'll be out for that ride (oh, and it looks like the weather is going to be PERFECT the entire time I'm up in Omaha... sigh). REI is sending me a replacement part for my trainer... hopefully I can figure out how to fix it. I've been taking Jaiden on walks lately. He's been whining a lot the past few days, and I'm not sure why, so I've been trying to pay more attention to him. I've been working about 55 hours a week, so he's probably feeling a bit neglected. Poor puppy.
