Had a short morning ride today!!! It was a last minute decision made when I was about to get dressed for work. I should do this more often, my thighs were burning! Why is Holly better bareback with halter and lead ropes than saddle and bridle? We trotted slower and longer than we have under saddle in a looong time. She did get quick but was easily slowed down. Is it my saddle? The bridle or bit? Or is it because she knows she is not going to have to do much when we ride bareback? Something for me to ponder, but in the meantime... I'm SO happy I rode!!!
