Today we did the hill! Long driveway with gradual slope. Walk down trot up. 3 girls on their horses laughing at ourselves. Trotting up reminded me of my youth! Feel your horse using their back is wonderful. Just more cheap thrills for me! A few trips up and down and we were done!

But in my youth I would be galloping bareback!

Fun! I love hills. You're right, there's something so cool about feeling all that power underneath you as their back ends engage.

One of my most favorite things to do with my pony when I was a kid was to gallop him up hills. We'd fly up them, walk down, and the minute I'd get him turned back to the hill, off he'd go. Little sht loved to run. Not sure I'd be brave enough to do that anymore but boy was it fun.

Oh yeah Indy! Trotting was enough but the teenager in me almost kicked her into a canter! With my leg I would fall off if she were to shy or veer! Even as an adult I have enjoyed racing up a few hills! Nice to have a calm horse for this type of adventure! Finally Rosie slowed down on her own!

Thank RR, LD, and DQ! I am happy to be in the saddle again. Actually riding lots lately. Maybe 11 days out of 20. Considering the 200 miles round trip that is a bunch! Al even took a spin last weekend! Rosie is fit!

Thanks Karen. TOC only sees me as broken since I broke my foot in 08. Then my leg. Satrurday is 2 years since I took that really bad step. You cannot imagine how I have felt! While I am still broken I am better!

Toc have given me much hope and strength. For that I thank you!
