Now this is a freshly trained horse and is not sure what I am asking and I am not sure how to ask. All you horse pros, I hear you laughing.
Sam helps Magic and Sam helps me. The stirrups are too long and guess what I have on my feet? Flip flops!
Are we getting the hang of it? Notice the one-handed rein technique and the one handed death grip on the saddle horn. If I were talented enough, I could toss that belly over the saddle horn and ride with no hands.
I didn't tell you the stirrups were set long for my husband to ride but he did not ride.
Look, guys, I can ride in another direction and the hand's off the saddle horn.
Now for the perfect dismount, flip flops still in place.
I hope you do realize what a break through this was for me, not ony riding but showing my picture.

YOU look a pro, flip flops and all. I don't blame you for loving them. they are beautiful. NOW you must ride more often. The more you ride, the more comfortable you will be. I do suggest...perhaps...and I'm no expert...different footwear.

You are having way too much fun!!! I enjoyed seeing that big smile on your face - I believe you have had an extraordinary weekend! Good for you!
I haven't ridden a horse (is ridden even a word?) in years. 27 to be exact.
The stirrups are never short enough for me, at 5 feet tall my legs stick almost straight out to the sides and don't fit around a horses belly. Lol. It doesn't look good.
I don't know from horses, but is it possible to have a closer bond (from the horses perspective) if you ride them regularly?
Oh GAil! You look so cute up there! I have got on once before, so i think i know from where you are looking down onto the ground, may seem a little terrifying and just pray you don't fall off- well done ;)

You look great and it looks like fun.
That was awesome! You did great!
You should go riding every day, Gail. That's why you have those horses, after all. And wear the right footwear! And for Pete's sake, shorten the stirrups. How will you ever get comfortable if you don't do it right from the beginning?
YEA!!! Glad you finally decided to get up there and then to SHOW us all how adorable you are smiling atop your pony!!! LOVED it!

You look gorgeous, Gail! Absolutely gorgeous!

That's more than I've been doing.
Good for you, my friend. I'm proud of you.
