I am a great champion,
When I ran the ground shook.
The sky opened.
And mere mortals parted.
Parted the way to victory.
And I met my owner in the winners circle,
Where he put a blanket of flowers on my back.

Riding and Fun
I went riding at Lizzie’s barn yesterday.
She has a beautiful dappled grey 6 year old Quarter horse mare that she trained herself named Lexus. She even has long white eyelashes!
Lizzie got on first and rode.
Then it was my turn. I am far from being a great rider, and Lexus was awesome to ride.
We walked, and trotted.

Including this adorable Haflinger pony!
Now, tomorrow I will get back to the mini counterparts aka Erika’s bridle and girth :)
Also, are there any how-tos that you may be interested in me doing?
