Horses

Today I went out to my friend Karen's house and rode horses all afternoon. I had a lot of fun. Mostly I rode Spirit, but I also rode Arizona and Buddy. Star isn't broke so I didn't ride her. When Karen and I were riding out in the pasture, Star came running out and started bucking and kicking at Spirit and Arizona. We had a harried ride for a few minutes! I started out riding Spirit in the round pen, he gave me a few little hoppy bucks, but it was actually kind of fun!! Then we got out in the pasture and started cantering...he put his head between his legs and started buckin' again. I lost one stirrups, but managed to stay on and get his head up.
Buddy is an older horse and he was kind of sore by the time we finished. Arizona was full of energy!
Karen and Shawn have three dogs, Bear, Griffon and Maddie. They were soooo friendly! Karen showed me some of their tricks.
Tonight Mom took me and Levi to the cow sorting in Vassar. Just a couple weeks and we'll be competing!
I haven't had any time to work on the book lately. I've been working at the auction hall or doing stuff around the farm.
Enjoy our lovely fall weather!
