I rode her for the first time on Monday. She was so good! We just walked around the ring and did lots of turns, stops and circles. I rode her again on Thursday (after all the tests!). We trotted around a little bit, and besides my mistake of tightening the girth while on her, we had a marvelous time ;) Actually nothing really happened she just was not impressed with me and didn't want to move forward after I tightened it. I should have realized this before I did it because I was worned she could be a bit cinchy... I just assumed it was just when the saddle was put on... hahaha. Now I know better!
We got to order our scrubs for school this week too. But the "Uniform Lady" was a royal pain in the ass and screwed my order up at least 4 times. I think I'm going to end up with 3 pants and one shirt instead of two pants and two shirts... *sigh* So Jen and I went up to the mall today and sorted through some scrubs at Marks Work Warehouse. I got a couple of scrub tops, which were cheaper and probably nicer than hers... LOL So I should be ok.
What else is new... I'm going to watch a Sue Fraser clinic tomorrow at the MacMillan Show Arena (Sue is a well-known riding coach in the maritimes). I had thoughts of entering, but money and better judgement prevailed! Hopefully there will be at least one green horse there that I can get some insight from.
I'll leave this post with a bunch of new Thea pictures :) Can you tell I like her??
