OH MAN.
I rode Taxi today, and had the most bodacious ride ever! I was so proud of her by the end of it.
But we had a bad start. She got spooked the moment I lited on her back, and threw a huge bucking fit. I was grabbing handfuls of black mane to keep myself from falling off. Fail, it just pulled out a load of hair, making me feel horrible/guilty. But that was the worst. After that, she jumped and hopped a little going into a trot, but she caught her stride and I remembered how well singing to Jewels worked, so I tried singing a few of the many songs I know from memory to her. She likes Keith Urban :)
So her canter was a rocking dream, and I think I was the happiest person in the world for those few minutes.
