BK :>She handled it pretty well. :) Good experience for her. The only other horse that Fid's been in an arena with is Shiloh...and then I made Richard ride Shiloh way across the arena )! BK :>CJ looks like heck.. can't give her a bath.. can't do BK :>anything with her BK :>right now with the boo-boo.. so I won't take a picture of BK :>her.. I've Had Richard take pictures of the kids' demonstration this past weekend. The came out awful! Was a CVS instant camera and had it processed by CVS...won't do that again real soon. My arena footing is very light and really reflects back the sun. There is one cute picture of me, the three girls, and Shiloh..S. has her nose stuck in a bouquet of flowers that one of the kids gave me! Also videoed, but even that was light washed out.

I was on BK :>her for at least an hour.. I really did push it a little to BK :>much tonight.. since the weather is starting to cool and BK :>she's in a roaring heat... but she's so easy to work with I BK :>just lost tract of time, and we really weren't working all BK :>of that. Great! She must be a joy to ride if you lose track of time! Gosh, Bob, she sounds wonderful! BK :>The lope was no more then about 6-10 strides either way... BK :>got to give her some time to work up to it. That's what I BK :>had to do with the trot and it was easier for her this way. BK :>More to come. ;) Sounds like she had a nice first lope! Nice way to ease her into it. BK :>visit shoo'ed Tush.. and Tush darn near got her rear feet BK :>over the fench just close enough to kick the gal.. I told BK :>her that this is a young horse and they are unpredictable.. BK :>and that was a REALLY good way to get kicked. Why is it that people think that a fence will protect them from a horse who's acting up (g)?
