Everyone Gets to Ride




Jolene was the first to ride Winnie. The did some walk trot and when Jolene asked for the canter, Winnie reminded her it does take much leg or asking to get her to get faster, and she jumped/bucked into it with much exuberance. For some horses resting is a reward, for Winnie letting her pick up the pace is a reward. If she could talk she would probably say, "standing still is for the ancient and for the pasture pets". Next Kim tried her out, and Winnie was a perfect lady for Kim. It may have been Kim's first ride of the season, so we're not sure who was more sore afterward. Kim did a lot of trot with her and leg yield (going sideway and cross legs).
