Rusty and Kodac haven't been ridden recently, actually it's been a really long time, and they are fat and sassy! It is the coolest thing to walk out to their pasture and whistle and have them come to me. I wasn't sure they would come, it has been so long, but they did!
I managed to get them groomed and Kodac saddled without hurting my back. Since Kodac is so "expressive" I decided to move him around a bit in the round pen before I got on his back. He crow hopped, kicked out and spunked around. He is so fun to watch, it puts a smile on my face. Once some of his bugs were worked out I climbed up on him. He was amazing, I love him. There were a few times he tried to go where he wanted to go (which was back to Rusty) but all in all it was a great ride.
Thanks Julie for asking me to ride because I never would have without your encouragement.
