COWGIRL TINK

This is the most ridiculous thing in the whole world.  You can tell by the look on my face that I am not happy with this.  But mom doesn't seem to care.  This stupid hat is choking me and squishing my ear.  What is she thinking-- That it's halloween or something?!?! Actually, I do have several halloween costumes that I will be modeling for you next week to help me decide which one to wear when I go trick or treating.  But that's next week...

Mom walked into her studio yesterday and found me resting on this horse

Mom decided that since I was showing an interest in horses, NOW was the time to introduce me to riding. Mom had a bunch of horses when she lived in Santa Ynez. This was my first try at getting on. Well, what do you expect from a novice?!?!?

Something's not right about this

2nd try was much better.  At least now I am facing the right direction

I was really starting to feel a little confident when mom said we needed to put it up a notch.  She sat me on a horse that was STANDING.  Are you proud of me?  I'm starting to feel good about this.

THEN I thought, ok, I am young, which means I think I can do ANYTHING!  Mom said she used to think she could do anything when she was young too.  She used to ride bareback at a full gallop.  But that was only after a couple of glasses of wine. I don't drink.  I'm underage.  11 months.

Anyway, This was my first try at TRICK RIDING. And this was without any wine.  I think I could have a future in this.  

Well, gotta go.  Happy trails!
