But the real question is how much patience do you have? hehe!<br />Thanks for sharing the ride with us. The pics were great!<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824875335060501671.post-47890129010516490562009-10-01T08:56:14.484-07:002009-10-01T08:56:14.484-07:00Oh Maddie.....next time, you'll do better.

Live and learn, Maddie - your human won't make you do anything that is going to put you in danger. Suck it up, horsie, and take that next stream like a pro!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824875335060501671.post-62312586246028157022009-09-30T20:19:38.628-07:002009-09-30T20:19:38.628-07:00Wow!

Actually, much more interesting plot development than a perfectly non-eventful ride would have been. Does that make you feel better? Somehow, I believe Maddie will gain confidence with the next ride, and be even better for the one after that. Hang in there. As for her expression, she does look a bit sheepish:)Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824875335060501671.post-64305057409036410232009-09-29T08:39:08.276-07:002009-09-29T08:39:08.276-07:00Argh, how frustrating!

I'm sure it felt really embarrassing, but you know every rider there has been in that situation with a horse in the past. It happens!<br /><br />Hope your back feels ok today.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824875335060501671.post-44977641621645411392009-09-28T04:29:25.848-07:002009-09-28T04:29:25.848-07:00Water, for some reason, can be a real challenge fo...Water, for some reason, can be a real challenge for some horses. My mare Maisie used to be terrible about water - at least as bad as Maddie was, if not worse. We worked on it at at a clinic and now she's as good as gold about water - in fact about obstacles of any kind. But at least it sounds as though Maddie was really good about almost everything else - focus on the positive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824875335060501671.post-12799777520796448512009-09-27T22:57:57.753-07:002009-09-27T22:57:57.753-07:00Sounds like so much fun, well except for crossing ...Sounds like so much fun, well except for crossing the stream.
