Heat
Today was my riding lesson and it was a really good one. Donna, the lady who started the riding classes, got a new horse. His name is Heat (sp?) and he's a chestnut Arabian. Since Roxy was being used, Donna decided to let me try riding him. He was kind of jumpy since he isn't used to the ranch yet. So it took a while to tack up. Then when we got to the round pen, Donna rode him a bit to make sure that he was going to be ok. Once Heat calmed down a bit, I was able to ride him.
Heat is so different from Roxy and Nellie. He responded so well to the slightest pressure of my legs. I barely even had to use the reins. I even was able to try trotting with him. His trot is bouncy but it's fine when I post. I guess from now on I'm going to be riding him instead of Roxy.
When I got back I took a nice cold shower and then got started on cooking dinner. I made some homemade spaghetti sauce with the tomatoes from the garden. As I was cooking the noodles, the stove caught on fire. I covered it with a pot lid and it died out. Apparently someone had dropped some uncooked macaroni noodles under the burner and didn't take it out. I didn't even notice it. It was kind of scary but there wasn't any damage.
Well, I think I'm going to go start a load of laundry and then play some WoW before I have to go to bed.
