FINALLY!!!

Last Thursday I was finally able to accomplish my goal and ride Gwenevere bareback! I was told I could use a saddle, but this is something I really wanted to be able to do. I warmed her up and did the pre-flight checks with her including putting weight on her back and jumping around. I had Randy help me, because I could not get her to stand near the mounting block. But I did get on -we rode around and she did great! I learned that when I turn if I turn my whole body it will help open to my horse which direction I want her to go in and it made a noticeable a difference. Being able to ride Gwenevere bareback and confidently was a huge confidence booster for me- I CAN DO HARD THINGS!
