SWW: Scrappy's 1st Ride
So the "SWW" stands for "slightly" wordless Wednesday. We had a pretty good ride today... Minus me being terrible... BUT! My little brother (of 16) finally got on his boy today and walked him around, but obviously on a line. B took very very good care of him. So impressed. We even walked over the bridge. Meep looks miserable in these pics, but he was "in the zone". Love him.
And here are some clips of today's ride...
Basically he's been so head up and hot that I needed to find my cow pony again. Just to make sure that he still existed. Lots of turn 'n goes, working on the fence, small serpentines, and trying to get him to follow his nose in a circle. We started off big and worked our way down. Circling left was a lot more fluid and loose than going to the right, but I also noticed I'm heavier in my right stirrup when I ask him to go in that direction. By the end of the ride we were both pretty loosened up and I found that cow pony. I let him cruise and yes, there was some counter cantering (fancy version of the wrong lead) but because of the idontwannas lately, I didn't care. I just said fine, you're cantering, and he eventually felt that it was wrong, slowed, and switched. Win! Can't wait to get back on the trails this weekend, and November 2nd... Another hunter pace? Yes please! Okay... Words done. Video now.
And after spending the last ... 2 hours ... trying to upload videos onto YouTube... I've got one. Da fuck.

Trails and a hunter pace sound so fun! Youtube is the devil.
So shiny in the last picture! Can't wait to hear about the pace.
I'm really only upset about YouTube being dumb because B looked really good and back to somewhat normal than his flash of eventer-extraordinaire haha. Hope you're doing okay. :(
He was pretty sweaty at the end of the ride. Well deserved work out.
Your brother looks thrilled lol
He as well suffers from RBF... Aka: Resting Bitch Face... He was kind of nervous. You should've seen his smile when he got off though. He kept giving B hugs and kisses! I told him, you have to learn how to really ride... Just in case I die. That made him laugh.
sounds like a good time :) boo youtube - maybe you'll be able to get the videos uploaded later or from a different computer?
