Molly and Dad

Things have been so busy I forgot to post this - - two weekends ago-- it was soo nice outside- Chet was working and I wanted to ride the horse soo bad-- but I'm a scardy cat and won't do it by myself-- what if I get bucked off and I'm dead for long time before someone finds me--! So any way I call my dad to see if he was coming out any time that day -- sure enough he was! So I got Molly all brushed up-- saddled up-- and walked her around the field, trying to show her that no mountain lions were out there-- I've never ridden her out in the field -- so it was a new thing for both of us-- I walked her around and she started freaking out -- over nothing mind you-- she's just a horse-- so I walked her back to the hitching post-- and was about to just give up-- But decided nope-- she doesn't win-- so I took her into the arena-- and messed around with her in there for about 30 minutes till my dad got there-- Finally-- I bridled her up-- and got on-- ! Well Molly is a big fatty and has some respect issues-- if she doesn't want me to ride her- she won't ever be naughty and toss me-- she just trots over to the fence and parks-- and we'll go in circles for hours-- I turn her and she trots right back and parks-- she gets pissed and I get pissed and nervous-- and I usually give up-- well I'd walk her to the far corner of the arena-- and get on-- and she'd trot to her fence and park-- GRR! We did this about 12 times-- and I was tired of getting on and off-- So I took her for a walk out where my dad was loading hay -- she was fine out there with him-- when he was done- he put his saddle on and wanted to go for a ride- me and my brother were hesitant-- if he gets tossed it wil be bad! But he insisted it was fine -- and got on-- now fat Molly doesn't like me on her- let alone my dad! So she thought she might be mad for a minute- but was too weighed down to do anything about it-- he rode her arond the field for a while-- and loved every minute of it- I love watching people ride horses-- and my dad reminds me of John Wayne-- So it turned out to be a wonerful day -- Molly got ridden-- my dad got to ride- and so did I!

Molly and Dad-- what a pair!
