Ya know what is always a plus?
Not getting bucked off.
It was a b-e-a-u-tiful day. The sun was out, the snow was melting. It was great!
The fillies are still doing awesome. I rode Toffy and Frosty out in the alfalfa field, and they were great. Frosty was a little high strung and didn't want to walk. Toffy was great. She was still looking around but she was fine with walking. I am greatly assured that the fillies aren't afraid of the neighbor's dog. I led Frosty right up next to the fence and she just looked at the barking, growling dog like Ha! I know you can't get to me!
I rode Toffy past the barking dog and she spooked a little once so I turned her towards the dog and she was fine.
Coffie is amazing. I asked her to do a figure eight while she was trotting and I'd say it was pretty near perfect.
Dash was good too. She trotted just fine. No bucking!
I'm excited! In a couple of months the fillies will be good enough that Terry's grandsons can ride. Before that though I want to figure out how they react to a total stranger riding them. Poor H....
Actually she's excited too. She comes home in April for Spring break so maybe she'll be able to ride the fillies. Otherwise I can always ask HM if she can do it.
That reminds me.
We'll be going over to HM's place this Sunday to ride. I'm super excited because we might do a little jumping!
