I galloped!

Aww, congratulations! Sometimes that is all you need is that moment to make that decision to do it... then you are over it!

Thats a fact Callies mom It takes a don't think just do moment. I had planned on taking some lessons and all sort of things to get my confidence back. Actually all it took was keeping my butt in the saddle and ride, ride, ride.

That's awesome Vida! I haven't galloped yet....no places straight enough or long enough to do so :(
Glad you had fun!!

I know from experience
Callie bucked me off a while back and I was really afraid to do anything on her... I kept over-thinking it every time I would consider getting on her and doing it.
I actually broke my streak after galloping on the beach in mexico while on vacation... it was spur of the moment and invigorating! I wanted more when I got home

Happy anniversary and ooh I love galloping. I ride through like a half mile of trails and then we get to this private road and there is lots of grass along the straight and we gallop there all the time...my mare is weird and llikes to make quick turns over to the pavement..im like NOOOOO....thats dangerous!

The field right next to us hasn't been planted yet, just disked dirt nice and smooth and would be a soft landing. I haven't been able to resist galloping across that field. Did it yesterday on the way home, a big no no I know but I just had to do it.

You naughty naughty school girl! LOL... Sounds like you are having a blast on Vida again!!!!!! Good for you!

Must have been that 20 year anniversary in the romantic cottage... put some pep back in your step huh???

hehehe

Galloping is so much fun, I never fell down, so I don't know how it is to be scared :(
