Paisley has the riding bug! Jed had turned Lucy out a few weeks ago since the weather just hasn't been nice enough for Paisley to ride. So Jayda has been helping him ride and sort pairs each evening. Paisley thinks that arrangement is crap and demanded that he get Lucy back in so she could ride too. So now while Jayda and Jed go do their thing, Paisley and I work on learning how to ride and learning how to get Lucy to do what she wants her to! Last night I led her for quite a while up the road and back, then I gave her the reins in the smaller corral so she can start figuring out how to turn and so on. Lucy doesn't neck rein at all, so I've been showing her how to basically plow her around and get her to turn. Lucy does respond to a whip rather well though and sometimes that gets a bit wild! Paisley shows NO FEAR of speed and just giggles when Lucy starts trotting or when Lucy shakes and almost shakes her off. Jayda was quite opposite and still will barely break into a trot. After about an hour of riding Paisley said, "Well, I guess I learned about everything!" Silly girl!
