awwsome the first ride is always magicle :D whats his story?

[horse_lover]

well He was given to me on Novermeber 19, 2005 when he was 19 months old as like a birthday/ christmas present. I have been waiting over 2 years for this ride! He has been down to training a few times, but all the guys did with him is lounging. So one of my mom's best friends has him now and has been doing a GREAT job with him! There is a barrel racing arena thing sort of close to my house aand they go and ride there a lot and we were just going over to say hi to Spy and Rodney (the trainer guy) asked me if I wanted to ride him and I did!!!! Spy was a little sspooky about a few monsters hding bhind chairs and such, but that's ok! he's only 3! and I trotted him and he was good, but he kept going like really fast then a little slower, then fast and so on, so I just started counting to a beat ing my head and he slowed down and did a little jog IMEDIATELY!!!! It blew me away that just by counting, he totally got what I wanted I'm SO proud of my little boy!!!! :D
