I rode Sassie today. That might not seem like a big deal to most, but to me. . . . . . Sassie is a 6 year old thoroughbred mare that hasn't been ridden in a while. Her life before was as a race horse so we weren't sure how she would act. We actually have been easing into the idea of riding her. Saddle first. Okay. Saddle on for a while longer. You know, bit by bit (no puns here). Today was the day. We really couldn't avoid it any longer. DH was a bit nervous so I said what the hell. A 6' plus fall can't be too bad. Ha. Any way, except for the stirrups not being adjusted quite right, and me not being an experienced rider at all, we managed a few turns around the pasture. Since I am vertically challenged (5' 2") it was a real different image of the world atop a horse that stands almost 6' at the shoulder. But really, she was very well behaved. I think this is going to be okay. Then DH got on her. He has a bit more experience (read just a bit more) and he actually got her to trot a good pace. She really seemed to enjoy the whole thing. Ears up and everything.
The other news is the convertible TR7. We were offered a deal we couldn't pass up. This will be Triumph # 8 or so. I'll post pix soon. Should be fun.
