Sunday, September 14, 2008 - Horse Riding
Yesterday we went to the V's house for Mr.V's birthday, and so we got to ride Horses a long time- Here is a lot of pictures.
Kate was helping Katrina saddle up Shandy, the little pony.
Rusta, Rustina's daughter who bucks
Beth riding Rustina
Rebecca petting Rusta.
Rase was riding Shandy while Katrina led them.
This is the Horse I rode all afternoon, his name is Buddy, and his nickname is soda.
I had a really hard time getting up on his back from those boots, so i changed into tennees.
I had a lot of fun...
and everyone else.
That little pony can run!
For some reason Shandy really liked Dad. :-P
Kate riding Shoestring.
Buddy liked to set his pace, when he walked, he was very slow when he ran, you can see your life flash before your eyes!
Rase pushing one of the V twins Michah.

It was finally time to ride back to take off the saddles.
Kate and Jessica riding Shoestring bareback to the pasture.
Rebecca and I riding bareback to the pasture on Buddy.
And then Mr.V leading Rustina back to the pasture.
After that we went in and had Cake and Ice cream, visited for a while then headed back home.
I am not very saddle sore because I had a padded saddlle. :-D
All the horses are old, so the very first time that Buddy ran, I was holding on for dear life (I was in a smallish field) and finally when he came to the gate he stopped, and when Rebecca checked on me (Buddy is Rebecca's horse, and Shoestring is Jessica's horse.) she saw that the cinch was really really loose, and if he didn't have his backbone sticking up, I would have fallen off and got seriously hurt. :-\

Thank you for all the pictures! I could almost smell the pasture (and the horses). Who is the old grizzled cowboy in the black and white picture? (just kidding!)
