Let's All Ride Mariah
I had a brilliant idea on Thursday. Mom went to town for an appointment and it was just the kids and I. I don't often ride without Dad home due to my short stature. I'm sure I could finagle my way on bareback or get the saddle on somehow...but I just don't. My realization today was that Mariah is short. Brilliant, no? Hehe, I'm not to "into" riding the pony, but I decided at least I could get her saddled for the kids to ride!!:) My suggestion was well received. Just so you know...I can lift this saddle with one arm:) Quinn gave it a good dusting with the brush. Meanwhile, Brenna brushed the actual steed. I may have pitched in a bit too. Brenna was more worried about Mariah's head, I was interested in the "no stickers under the saddle" bit. We've been working on getting Mariah used to the bit 'n bridle so Quinn can ride her on his own. It isn't too difficult, get them in the round pen and let 'em loose. Yeehaw! Dad got
