so in love with Semi today!

had such a lovely ride with Semi today : ). She has been off for a couple of days after having a shot so I wasn't sure what to expect but she was an angel. She decided to get spooky by the door to the indoor arena and cantered off suddenly, but her spooks are so gentle its ridiculous! She canters off in the slowest of gentle canters, no sudden veers or insane speeds. I am so in love with her today!

Her winter coat has started coming out and big clumps of fur showered down as I brushed her this afternoon. She turns a lovely chestnut color in the summer!

❤❤❤She even let me brush her face and ears by lowering her head for me today ❤❤❤

I have tried several of the Prestige saddles: the Arezzo was blah, the Meredith had a weirdly painful right thigh roll. Silvia rode in it and had the same problem; we have sent it back and I am hoping they will just adjust it. I also rode in the Golden Star, which was hard as a rock, threw me forward in the saddle until I could barely maintain my position and Semi hated it. so weird. Tomorrow I think they bring some different models : )

  1. Glad you had a good day with your horse today. It's so hard to find just the right saddle that fits both the you and the horse. Good luck with the search.

  3. Sounds like you had a great time bonding. I love grooming for that reason.

    The one saddle sounds like it had somekind of issue. It's hard enough finding the right one as it is. Good luck in that process.
