Three hours

Team Tucker spent three hours in the saddle today.

I have officially reached the "just kill me now" level of riding.

I rode to my friend's house for a lesson. We worked on walking in a straight line.

Walking faster.

Jogging in a circle by following each other and peeling off and coming in around behind the other person.

And, posting the trot....and posting the trot...and posting the trot. It seems I have no thigh muscles so I will have to work on that.

Yes, we took some breaks but we did not get off the horses.

I finally told her I need to leave because I have to make it home before I seize up. :)

Tucker helped me get the mail before turning into the driveway, after a small argument.

We got in the gate, headed to the home pen and I got off while clinging to the horse. He is a good boy. He didn't move a muscle while I got my legs to work.

I hate to say it but I got his saddle off, his bridle off, sprayed him with lots of fly spray and threw some hay and I came in the house and collapsed for 20 minutes. I'll have to go out and brush him and check his feet a little later.

By the way, it is only 87 degrees out and sunny!

Love the riding pants although they seemed a bit sweaty.

Love the new saddle. Yeah, the tush is a little sore but not too bad.

Love my new reins as well.

Now, if I could just get a younger body I would be good.

Looks like the wrong photo but after the morning I've had, I can live with that :)
