And All I Wanted To Do Was Ride My Horse.....

Tonight I decided to take Mina out for a ride.

I did not feel like getting all "Dressed Up" so I decided to take it easy and go Western (Never AGAIN!!!)

I go outside and a simple task of taking Mina out of her paddock started a series of unfortunate events.

I haltered her up and started to open the gate, when Lacey come bounding over, trying to squeeze herself through the small opening gate.

I spent about 15 mins trying to keep Lacey form getting out, and when that failed, I decided to take Mina out through her other gate, into the other 3 horses paddock.

That was harder then my other plan!!

First off Raiah and Niki run into Mina's paddock behind me and Lacey runs into theirs!

So I left it for a few mins and took Mina out and tied her up to the hitching ring.

Once Mina was tied I went back into the paddock and spent about 15 more mins trying to get the horses back into their proper paddocks, but I left Raiah in with Lacey (Raiah is her babysitter)

So while I'm getting them all aranged, i hear this big bang and the sound of a horses hooves pounding around.

I run to look and I see Mina walking down the driveway, draging the hitching ring (tied to her lead rope) behind her!!

I quickly grab her, screw in the hook and go back to the paddocks.

Another 10 mins later, I FINALLY got the horses put away and start tacking up Mina.

it takes 5 mins to tack Mina up and then I hop on (After I put on my helmet) and off I go  (Or...Don't go!) Mina refused to move one step and she HATED the western bit!!!

It took 10 mins to get her up our driveway and onto the road!!!

I proubably spent 5 mins riding her before I got sick of fighting her and put her away.

So much for taking it easy!!!!!!!!!

And here I did not go English because it took to ling, ARG!!!

Check back for my post about the horse show!
