cowboy in the making

i have a boyfriend, and he is what one would call a city boy. but, i can proudly say he is coming around quite well in the horse world. we picked a bad time to introduce him to the horses because it was in the dead of winter; so you can only imagine all the loads of fun you can have in a foot of snow and 40 below weather. i was sad because i knew that he didn't really like being out there and i didn't see him getting any more enthused about it when the weather got nicer. every time i asked him to go out there he would say no or i had to drag him out. but finally i made him feel bad enough about it that he decided to give them another shot and go out there with an open mind.

at first, like all beginner riders, it was pretty painful to watch. no offense alan really you didn't do any worse than anybody else we've taken out there. in fact, you actually did quite a bit better than a lot of the people we have taken out. our latest project h , if not he is getting extremely close. and best of all, i think he truly enjoys being out there and riding. now, we have even mastered the trails and going real fast! it's fun and i'm really happy to have an awesome riding partner for the summer. i don't like riding alone all the time and it's really fun when alan comes out with me. he's catching on quick and i'm really looking forward to this summer.
