The first time I visited I rode a good natured quarter horse named Cash. He and I got along great. He was such a gentlemen.
I've ridden an appaloosa mare named Roxy twice. (You'll probably recognize her from earlier posts.)
And this time I got to ride the farm celebrity, a very smart 5 year old BLM mustang named Grace. She's not only a well trained mustang (with only two years in civilization) she is also a bit of a trick horse! Her owner showed off some of her tricks right before we left to go home. I was impressed. Grace is such a good natured and smart horse! Definitely shows just what good horses mustangs can be.
While I rode Grace, my cousin rode Roxy. The point of that day was just to exercise the horses. They want to get them in shape for the upcoming show season. Another girl was also using Grace as a lesson horse later in the day, so I was supposed to get Grace warmed up so she would be super calm later when the other girl rode her. So basically we just exercised them at a walk, trot, and canter for about an hour.
And then at the end just for the fun of it we decided to see if we could make a drill team. We attempted to ride a pattern but failed miserably. But is was hilariously fun! We had a good laugh over it.
Anyways, I can now say I've ridden a mustang! I really did like that horse. It seriously makes me want to adopt one!
