^This one. Right here.
When I get to feeling like I shouldn't stay in the horse world, she reminds me why I can't leave it. We went for a short 45 minute ride out in my neighbor's pasture yesterday after school, because it's easier than asking permission to ride after-hours on ranch grounds and has plenty of obstacles for training. Including some never put up telephone poles that are great sizes for jumping. She started off pissed because when mommy comes home from school in the evenings, that normally means food, and instead today it led to saddle. So I was trying to get her to lope, and she was mad. And fighting me. And being a butthead. S
