Sunday Jay and I went on our first hunter pace together! We rode with a couple of friends from the barn where I take lessons, and had a great time. I have really been having a good time with Jay since he has been back in work. He and I have really connected. It is just so wonderful to go out to the barn and have your horse nicker and come to you from across the pasture! Some of you have seen them already, but here is a link to the photos so that I don't have to re-upload them here!
Early on in the ride we came into a field along the road. The professional photographer was set up there, and got a couple of shots of me conquering my cantering issues...the ones I realized I had the day I drove nearly 6 hours to look at Jay! You can tell by the look on my face how I am feeling about it now!
We placed fourth...out of four teams in our division, LOL! We don't do it to win anyway, but to have fun, which we did! I guess that makes us winners after all!?!
This Saturday I am taking Jay to ride at the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC. I am going with the Yadkin Valley Hounds Pony Club, which I joined as a Horsemaster, their program for adults. I finally get to participate in Pony Club! Hopefully I will get some nice pictures to share.
