That's what my daughter calls this short video of me on my mare Stylin. Jenny taught me how to crack a whip and then had me desensitize Stylin on the ground for the last several weeks. Yesterday, she decided it was time for me to put on my big girl panties and do it while on Stylin. I made her do it first, then I climbed on using the round bale holder and voila !
Then I climbed on my trusty Appaloosa, Dixie and rode for a little while. She's such a good ole mare.....she's 24 years old this spring and still going pretty strong. Isn't she a cutie?
WOW! Stylin' is such a good mare! The sound of the whip made me jump the first time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're ready to ride in one of those Western Movies, just riding along crackin' your whip at those lil' doggies!

Looks like she didn't mind at all you were up on her back cracking that thing. Good job of ground work, I think.
ReplyDeleteActually, she still flinches a tiny bit on the ground, but it unconcerned while I'm astride. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Hopefully Jenny will be able to teach me soon. I am not that coordinated, so it may take a while.
ReplyDeleteLove the head shot of Dixie!
