YEE HAW!! Making Progress

I had another horse riding lesson on Saturday, and (surprisingly) I don't have any really crazy stories to tell. I have noticed, however, that Ike keeps making me take the horse over bigger and bigger things. It started out with one puny little pole on the ground, then two puny little poles, and now (since I'm pretty much a master horse rider) we have advanced onto a giant green pipe thing (about 10 inches in diameter).

Ike did make me canter around a lot, so I'm sore all over the place. Oh! and I had my first experience using two sets of reins! It only took him like ten minutes to show me how to hold them, and which one should be on top (I didn't really get it). Then I made the dumb mistake of letting go with one hand to scratch my ear...luckily I guessed right about which one should be on top.

Anyway, I think I'm making pretty good progress with this horse stuff. In fact it's inspired me to join the medieval club and try riding around in a suit of armor while swinging a sword...ok, not really.

  2. So-you have me added to your blog list without telling me you had a blog?!?...I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that! Cory, you have the cutest wife (aside from me) and it was fun reading through your commentary-it made me feel like I was back in high school. Glad I found you, now keep in touch!
