Been Riding

Well a while ago I traded Hick, our butt head red dun gelding, for a little mare named Sandy Triple Bar aka Trip. I have a really good feeling about this mare....she is smart, quick and broke...Anyhow, I have been riding her a lot. I really enjoy riding her. She is a smaller mare. Actually the size of my first horse, TJ. She is only 14.2hh. But she is wide and gonna get really wide here pretty quick! You can roll an egg down her back! Anyhow, she has picked up on the pattern so fast I am still in awe....We are now loping the pattern and I really want to take her to some place and make a run on her to see what she clocks. She might even be ready to enter up....Keep in mind, she was a rope horse and has never seen the cans till I got her and has only been worked on the cans for a month......she is smart!
Yesterday I rode Joe and Lynx. Booth of which are growing like weeds with all this fresh grass we have right now. Joe did lope a nice pattern yesterday after I worked the snot out of him in the round pen to get the buck out...lol Lynx was being confused, but that is OK. He is a baby.
I plan to ride Trip and Gabe today. It seems I ride the two sorrels (Joe and Lynx) one day then the two bays (trip and gabe) the next. Problem is this......I am down to one saddle that fits 3 ponies really well then another saddle that kinda fits Lynx.....so I guess I better find another saddle like the one I have that fits 3 ponies....lol
