Short road ride

Went for a short road ride with Heather this morning.  It was short, and slow, but still a nice little ride.  I won't be winning any equitation classes anytime soon!

Love her appy butt and strawberry blonde tail. 



And this isn't her fast walk. 

Notice her left knee - a split second away from walking off, hence the crazy-tight reins.
When we got back to the barn, we proceeded to the round pen and worked on voice commands.  I started her to the right and she did very well.  When I turned her to the left and asked for canter, she offered to buck.  Hmm.  We'll do it again tomorrow without tack but it might be time for a chiro appointment.  Until yesterday, I'd never seen this mare buck, even out in the pasture.  Something may be up.
