Bareback Riding

So I rode my uncle's horse bareback about a week and a half ago and it was the first time I had even riddin bareback before. It was an awesome experience and I'm glad I got to try it. However, his horse is quite old and very stubborn so that made for a painful rest of the week. I had to keep cantering her around to get her to chill out because every time she is away from his other horse, Misty, she freaks out and thinks Misty is leaving her behind or something. I also hadn't riddin since spring break when we had our regional show at school so it's been awhile. Starting next week though I get to ride and teach girls about horses for the rest of the summer :) Can't wait!

Welcome!

Hello readers! I am Andrea and this is my way of sharing and even helping myself to understand better what I learn as I go along through my program at Utah State. I am a member of the USU Equestrian team, an Equine Management and Science Major, and I have been around horses since the age of 2 :) I ride both English and Western and I am a Horseback Riding counselor for Trefoil Ranch this summer. Again welcome and I hope to share as much as I can about what I learn to help you learn more about the equine industry!
