First Adult Ride!

So our ride on Nov. 7 was cancelled due to the cold. (We don't ride until 6 and since it gets dark so early temp is really important.) Then our ride on Nov. 14 I was scheduled to work. The beauty of Adult ride is you can go as little or as often as you'd like. So tonight I was finally able to go. It felt really odd showing up on a weeknight in regular clothes to go ride at Westernaires. We got in line for horses and I got Warrior #134 - just like old times. Glad it was a horse I had some familiarity with. We caught and saddled. Then the monitor comes around to collect money. The ride actually wasn't awful. I'd compare it to AA. We did a lot of trotting maneuvers and practicing riding as a unit. Then we got to do some loping on the rail so that was nice. There are three levels to adult ride. Beginner 1, and Beginner 2 who ride on Wednesdays. Then Intermediate is the highest one offered and is the class I attend, we ride Tuesday nights. We eventually will work on a small drill. It's pretty laid back so it was nice to socialize and have a little fun while riding and not have it be all work. I forgot how awkward Warrior's gaits can be hahahaha but he was still a super sweet boy and he did a very good job.
