Jazzy did so good!

I need to pull the pictures off of glenn's phone, but I rode jazzy friday, and she was wonderful. She turned, stopped, started, with little hesitation. She's mostly lazy, lol, i need my spurs. She did great though, i'm super proud. And she's starting to look like a horse!!! But anyway, after I was done dad walked out as I was leading her at the trot around the arena with bridle and saddle, and I asked if he wanted to trot her for me, he laughed, and walked out there. He got up on her, she stood there like a lady while he convinced his knees to bend enough to reach into the stirrup, and made his way up (he's not as spry as he once was, i take it for granted every time I pop onto a horse's back). He gave her a good squeeze and she walked on. It's been a long time since my dad rode at all, much less on a baby. The last time he broke a horse he was in college. He walked her around, did some figure 8s and serpentines, stopped, started, etc. then he stopped and I saw him move his seat like he was going to ask to back up. I almost stopped him, because she doesn't do that well and i really wanted to just end on a good note, but she did it! She gave him about 5 good steps backward, and he gave her a pat and walked her on again. He asked her 3 times total, and she did it every time! I'm so proud of her! I got really cute pictures, too. but like i said, I can't get to them yet. I'll ask glenn to upload them tonight if he has time. :D
