Riding Like a Tick

Yesterday afternoon Danielle was riding Baton Rouge bareback at a pretty solid pace. Baton Rouge rarely spooks and never bucks. Yesterday she did something very out of the ordinary and then planted her feet with a sudden halt. It would have been difficult to have stayed on if the horse was saddled. Danielle kept the horse under her even without a saddle.

Danielle exercises. She rides a lot and she is strong. It was nothing but strength that kept her on that horse.

Another great example of why riders should be at least as well conditioned as their horses

Riding bareback takes talent, muscle,and balance. It helped build the muscle I have now. It defiantly was a very interesting thing to happen. I did a very good job at holding on. She did very good to stop when she saw me hanging off the side. Im very proud of me and her.
