Yesterday, I gave Bella Benedict another riding lesson on Gunny. This wouldn't be so significant, after all I teach horseback riding lessons for a living. But Belle is just 6 yrs old and she has to clean corrals to EARN her own lessons. Her family is Very tight financially, so I offered Belle a chance to join the 'work to ride' program. She works Hard to earn enough credits to get to ride.
So, this was her 3rd lesson, and we worked on developing a SMOOTH whoa - a nice easy slow pull…

Well, I feel I left a story untold. So, I will quickly tell you all that Belle and I happily completed our first endurance ride last May- we actually placed 13th in a field of 30 - so I was pretty happy. And maybe a bit over confident as we sent in entries to go all the way up to Mendocino to a ride in the redwoods. SEEMED like a wonderful idea - camping, company, and a ride. But the haul up was a basic nightmare - instead of an easy 9 hours, we were in the truck for 12, I was so tired…
