I rode Bentley for a little while. I tried the saddle my uncle uses on him. He had never been ridden in it before but it seemed to fit him nicely. I wanted to cry when I thought about handing away his reins. I had my uncle ride him and I talked with my uncle about how little he will actually have to use the reins to steer. Bentley is amazingly responsive to weight and legs. God am I torn up about not using him next year. My aunt, cousin and my uncle's cousin, all rode him too. It was even hard seeing them riding him. No one else has ridden him in months!

Anyway...sigh....I also rode Harley. Did lots of trotting. Will be just working on conditioning for a while.
