Today I was on a Thoroughbred Quarter Horse named Cinnamon. She was chestnut with a tiny white star. We did everything the same as what we did the last time. There wasn't anyone else at the lesson so I had the whole ring to myself.
We went through our exercises and the trot and the walk. Cinnamon kept going to the gate because she thought she was done. I had to keep turning her around to keep her going the right way.
When we were done I led her out of the gate. She gave a big long sigh because she was happy she was done. Then I took her tack off and groomed her. I gave her some carrots I had saved until after the lesson. Then I led her through the barn and into the paddock.
I like Cinnamon and Angel the same, but maybe Angel a tad bit more. Cinnamon doesn't like to listen, and I have to hold a crop to make her trot. Cinnamon thinks she is the boss most of the time. Angel is slow but steady. I like her because she is smaller and easier to mount and dismount.
