Love Triangle

A love triangle takes 3. Well there's me, Julio, and Humor. Except it's not really a love triangle becuase .... well it's not really at all. But whatever. Yesterday was gorgeous. Was it not, my fellow Pooper Scoppers? Julio and I had a fantastic ride. Boy oh boy he was round and forward and duddeee the boy was working hard. We had a beautiful canter that just oooozzzzzed Grand Prix qualitiy. (Even though he is slow and sometimes fat, I swear Julio does two-tempis in his spare time) Anyways.

Today was just as gorgeous, but this time the beast of choice was Humor. (Sonja and I swapped horses) Hehehehehe. I told Julio he had to be a perfect gentleman just like yesterday. Humor was great. Forward, head down, trucking, then WHOH G what happened!!!! Sharkey fell off a cliff and OOOOO nOOOOO I might be next. Setting: Trotting up the Camp Rd. with Sharkey who happens to slide into the mucky edge of the Rd. So you guessed it. Humor exploded in crazy fear. Only a few bucks and huge galloping strides later, he settled back down. Back to work........

Few minutes later. We were working in our half seat, finding our hips and seat behind the motion to begin and then slide right into perfect position. BUHHHHAAAAAA. We rock. Silly pony canters SIDEWAYS. (which is possible you giant dressage kings! I can even do it in circles just like you!!!!) Humor got scared again. He jumped the trotting poles instead and then proceeded to buck, jump, half spin, bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbboooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllltttttttttttttttttttttttt. Yeah. the TB thing out of the gate just came right into play. TB's don't think outside of the box. They think outside of the gate. Mini's think outside of the fence. HAHAHAHAAHA. I decided that I would call it quits before he decided to jump the moon and send me to mars.

Riding Spring (literally) is kinda a fun experience. Love the feeling of a horse that just is ready for summer almost as much as I am. Just going to prove that Spring comes with consequences and wonderful results be summer. Can't wait. :)
