So today I got to ride bareback! I walked her around
a bit warming her up. She seemed a little frisky, lately (I love it). I just really enjoy horses that are harder to handle. She is a perfect fit. So then I did her gait for awhile. She does this thing that you will be all happy go lucky than sha-Zam! She will crow hop to the side, which send me almost sliding off her back lol. So then I turned and cantered up the hill!!!!!!!!!! I have NEVER cantered bareback before!!! It was so much fun! I forgot the crop so it was MUCH harder to ride without a crop. So it took me awhile to get her going. Then after the hill. She stood there. She would not move for nothing. S my mom ran down to the house and got the crop (my mom is amazing). Then I ride her down a steep hill so we could rinse her off. She started going NUTS!!!!!! She tried to bolt, she tried about everything! I did a half haults and it helped. Then she started to calm down. Then I brought her to the gate (I'm still on her) she she went BA-zerk again. She is kind of barn sour and she tries to bolt up to the gate at the top of the hill. Then I got her to calm down and jumped off. My mom had to pick Noah (my brother) up from soccer practice. So I washed her down myself la-de-da-da. I walked her up the hill to the paddock and put her in for the night, of course she rolled. I wanted to take a picture to put on Instagram. Cause she looked brown :'D then I prayed over her (I do every night).... Now I'm sitting on the Couch typing this. I'm going to my friends house whom is a freshman or sophomore. She has horses and we will probably end up riding :D even though I'm 12 1/2 (lol) I still make friend who are older than me. I'm better communicating with older than younger for some odd reason. Well enough about me! Thanks for reading! I'll post pictures later!

Lazy day, and grumpy mares
So...... Glory is always grumpy on monday, because she is off her Bute. Since she has arthritis the man was giving her Bute every day..... That can lead to liver problems etc. so we are doing it every other day and giving her flax instead. So of course there are 7 days in the week which is uneven. So Sunday and Monday no Bute. That's the reason. So glory did not get ridden today. We thought it would be good to let Her rest while she is grumpy :'D . So I stayed home waiting to go back out. I have been giving her some carrots every once in awhile, Because apparently they are really good for horses (according to @giveahorseacarrot off of Instagram) . She loves them, she is so cute! I just came in from putting on her muzzle (so she does not founder). She followed me around it was adorable! I stretched her front left leg :) she tried to stomp it down, but I held on to it! Sorry I'm just happy about that cause usually I chicken out afraid she's going to fall .when I was younger I had an experience with a horse falling while I picked out its hooves. She seemed surprised :D I checked her water la-de-da-da. I also took some pictures! I drew the pictures

So sorry :3
I'm so sorry I have not been on! So here are a few updates! I will try to post more!
- glory is doing great I've catered her and gone around barrels , we do not think she is ready to gallop
- she's getting to fat but we are working with her, and she is getting more fit.
- she's getting kind of bitey
- she is getting WAY less stubborn now that we have a crop
:) so we are trying to make her lose weight. Her neck was starting to get hard so we panicked
Her canter is the most amazing in the world! So since I'm catching up here a some pictures :p ALOT
There are some pictures from the rodeo I went to.... If you wanna follow me on Instagram: glorybear13
