Rose is easy to ride...slow, steady...definitely won't run away with you.
Misty is easy...sometimes jumps tiny bit if there is a racket (like a truck).
The ponies are too small, of course.
The colts are too wild.
Dell is busy with the baby.
Gizmo is a dream, a gentleman who will canter obediantly if you like.
But El Nino!!!
He's huge, tall, muscular, and beautiful. His dark winter coat is lush and velvety.
He's gentle, yet eager to go. Sturdy, heavy, trotting with deep footfalls in the sandy arena.
Cantering with El Nino makes me feel as if I'm riding in the circus on one of those big slow horses, round and round.
I'm more confident and my riding skills are increasing.
I can actually get up into the saddle by myself!
My saddle is easier to lift onto the horse.
I don't need much help lately.
Although El Nino's bridle is hard to get up & over his ears...he's so tall!
I'm feeling Proud I guess,
and I'm having a great time.
Forget gyms and treadmills,
I'll be off riding!
