As the title suggests, Kimmie and I once again rode right before/during sunset, and we got some lovely pictures. We started off in the ring, since Limerick's canter hasn't been super predictable lately and I didn't feel comfortable out in the field. He was awesome once again, and I randomly decided to try riding without spurs. WHEW, was that hard work! He is a ton of horse to keep moving without any sort of aid other than your leg, but it's good for me to ride without them sometimes. We did all of the normal stuff, all while watching Kimmie and Jazz go around bareback and in just a halter, jumping and being total badasses. I want to be her someday :) We ended the ride by going out into the field and watching the sun go down... it was
freezing but so worth it!
Tomorrow I'm probably going to have to ride by myself, because Collyn, Liz, and Kimmie are all going out of town this weekend :( I also have a Chemistry test on Monday, and Thanksgiving break next week, so pony time will be limited starting tomorrow (I'll still make time to ride this weekend, but it won't be that exciting). Side note: Limmers had his teeth done today. They were sharp but not too bad, according to the pony dentist!

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that Collyn, Liz, Kimmie, and I went out to dinner for Liz's 21st birthday! It was my first 21st birthday experience (I'm 19) and a total blast :)

| Sorry for the crappy iPhone picture... I've come to the conclusion that Mexican restaurants are by far the best place to celebrate a 21st birthday! They come complete with shots, sombreros, and ice cream |
Sounds like a fun night! I feel like Houston would start trouble if I let him get that close to someone while we were riding... Like eating their tack or something along those lines...
ReplyDeleteI wish Lims was coming home with you again for Thanksgiving but I guess since you're going out of town (BOO) it would be pointless. I am sure he will enjoy his staycation.
Limerick tries to undress all of the horses that I let him get close to! He particularly likes to try to take off bridles... what can I say, my horse is a freak :) I wish I was staying at home, but at least I'll be somewhere good/warm!
DeleteI can't wait for my 21st birthday!!! Only 5 months away lol
ReplyDeleteit was so much fun!! Collyn did this thing to Liz called "Icing," where she would randomly and sneakily present her with a bottle of smirnoff ice at various points during the day, at which point Liz had to get down on one knee and chug the whole thing... not my idea of fun, but it definitely provided some hilarious stories/memories :)
DeleteTotally agree - Mexican is my fav...esp the night before a horse show! Lovely pics :)
