#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well, It was finally a perfect riding night, so I called up the neighbor and asked if she wanted to go riding. We agreed to meet in 20 minutes. So I ran down, groomed, and tacked up. I got my dad to walk me until I met the neighbor, just in case I ended up on my butt again. So I went and lunged Dusty first(very interesting) I dont think Ive ever seen a horse canter and somehow eat at the same time. And went on with my ride. So me and my dad set off down the path. Well since its harvest time, we have one of those BIG white bins for corn out in the middle of the field. I swear if Dustys head was up any more, then I would've knocked out. So dad led Dusty around it. He was so tense, I could feel his heart through the saddle. Dad was ahead, and since Dusty loves my dad, we pranced(very interesting also) .We finally saw my neighbor. Our prance was ended by all 4 hooves planted to the ground. Tall straight up in the air and head so high it was in the clouds(j/k) So we stood there and decided where we were going to go. Since my indiot brother was out ATVing and had already spooked the neighbors pony, we decided to continue on the path around my property with my dad, and just work on flat work. We were walking along, and my dad stopped to talk to the other neighbor. We continued on. Dusty was so upset about leaving, he spun around in circles for like 5 minutes, and we also noticed that there were some people at the side of the road taking pictures of us(lovely, a acting up horse) So I dismounted and just walked him. Dusty then notices the other horses at the neighbors house, you would have swore that he had never seem them before(he sees them everyday#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Word_Negative/1.gif"#ed_cl#) He was snorting like mad, and his tail was high up, it was laying across his back, and on the saddle. I just laughed. It is very comical watching this horse prance around like a 2 year old. Well we get to the hay field, and I go to get on...yeah right. He wont stand still and I wasnt going to take any chances of falling off again, so I walked him. Finally got on. Well I dont know if this is right, but when since arabs are so excited, thats why they are so smooth. Since Dusty was so excited, his trot was from heaven, and his canter, I didnt move ONE INCH outta that saddle. I stayed in the same position...absolutly no movement outta me what SO ever! I finished up with a round of the barrel pattern...he was completly sonked out...didnt realize where he was going. And I we ended with a nice canter, a slow jog, and a funny walk.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
