Toby coming up to see us while I was riding Dot

Riding Toby (sorry for the annoying noise. The butt end of my crop was hitting the camera. )

Considering this was Toby's first time on the trails behind the house, he did very well.

Had a bit of a dismount problem on Dot when we were done. Thank God nobody was around. My coat got caught on the saddle horn almost ripping it off, my boobs popped out of my bra. I was laughing so hard I almost fell over. Dot was rolling her eyes I'm sure. I had to stuff everything back before I could get her tack off and then go get Toby. LMBO

Oh my gosh, Laura, I wish someone had been there to videotape that dismount! Bwaahaahaaa!!

 

[AZLAB]

What no one took pictures of that dismount....

 

[labby]

No, thank God!

I ripped a blouse doing that and a guy friend was nearby and saw it. He asked me to turn around and I told him go to to hell.

Very cute vids. LOL at the dismount story

my boobs popped out of my bra.

BWAH HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!

Those are great. I almost felt like I was riding them.

In the 3rd Toby vid at the end, there's a giant house in the background. Is that a house, or a barn - hard to tell?

 

[labby]

That's Bonnie's house. She owns Dot and Gracie and lets me keep Toby there for free. Nice digs, eh?

 

[jzgrlduff]

Uh, yea! Can we say "jealous"?

Do you think horses like to be ridden? I'm just curious...seeing those vids made me wonder what they think.....

 

[Thunders Mom]

I like #3 of Toby standing there looking around. New sights!

How much time do you ride each horse? Does Gracie ever get to go?

 

[labby]

I ride Dot less than I ride Toby since she's 28 or 29. Just enough to get the blood pumping. I'm working Toby up since I'm not sure how much time under saddle he's had. I prolly rode Dot 20 minutes or so and Toby about 30-40.

I haven't ridden Gracie yet. She's a handful and Bonnie wants to supervise us before I do, which is fine with me.

Looks like fun! (although I get kinda dizzy watching those videos).
Too bad there wasn't a video of the dismount - that sounded pretty darn funny.
