And just to give a heads up due to Kelly's reminder, Madison's hyperness at that patrty was scary and disturbing. Now that that's out of the way, well, yesterday after I got home and went to bed, in the morning Vika came over since her mom and my mom went to a jewlery show. This morning I went with her back to the horse farm, we both tacked up the one horse, Lightning Bug, and she got on and rode. Walking, trotting, two-pointing, weaving, walking over poles, and cantering. It was awesome! And at the end I got to walk around the ring on the horse for 2 or so laps. Oh my gosh, I thought I was going to fall off! I was so used to western saddles that I didn't know how to use an english saddle. I thought I was going to fall off! But in the end I gave Lightning Bug a hug for being a good horse, and hugged Major, a really big pretty horse, and pet Max, a Friesian, and went home for a while. I miss Major!
