Hi hi!! I haven't been on a whole lot lately; I'm currently in my summer holidays (Aussie). But I thought I'd share a few random things since I'm home and bored today. First off, my new(er) horse Carlos is doing really good with his training, I've walked and started trotting him, he loves weaving through poles and is super cuddly! He's never kicked/bucked etc, but he has bolted with me on him once. In his defence, there were people in the paddock next to us desensitizing a young horse with a flag which spooked Carlos. I was fine, stayed on and brought him to a stop and continued. Second (and prolly last), as a fun fact, I've ridden horses for 10 years. In that time, I've only ridden english with an occasional western event here and there. I originally wanted to compete in XC or showjumping, but recently that changed. I've decided I'd like to switch entirely to western. I now wanna do barrel racing, roping and cutting. I've done a few little barrel racing things before but not roping or cutting as I do not have access to cattle. So, there's my random little rant. I'm open to ideas and stuff!!
