Day 8

My horse greeted me this morning. We are starting to get a strong relationship and she looks for me to go do something. We played in the playground with the saddles on and kept checking our pre flight checks really thoroughly to make sure we had not overlooked anything. In the afternoon, we went in the round pen and mounted our horses. This was it. You can never be to sure about how they will react. Will the preparation be enough that you have put in them or not? Rob moved the herd around and we all got a closer look at how the horses were feeling, being in the middle of everything! All the humans were pretty much on their toes and we tried our best singing a song or whistle to make our muscles relax. All we were supposed to do was just being a passenger. This exercise was an emotional roller coaster. One second being terrified to the next singing along and laughing with the others. The horses calmed down and so did the humans and we all ended the ride on a happy note.
