Great weekend

Our friend Tammy came over to look at Vinny and see if she could advise us on what to do.
She checked him out, his tack, and everything else she could check.
Turns out that me saddle that fits every other horse in the world is a horrible fit on Vinny. We put Joanne's synthetic saddle on and it fit better. Then Tammy told me to mount up. I was pretty darn scared to get up there, but trust her.
Vinny was like a new horse! He listened to me, did what I asked and was solid under saddle!! After about 30 minutes of riding him around the pen I got down. I gave him a huge hug and was almost in tears I was so happy. I was really rethinking this whole horse thing. That I was not good enough or smart enough to handle it all. He also seemed happy and having fun. He followed me around and did not want to leave my side even after I took everything off him.

Now on Mon. Sadie did something that made everything worth it. She was laying down and I was coming in with the wheelbarrow to clean up. I walked right past her and she did not move. I walked up to her slowly and she still did not move so I extended my hand for a pet. She was laying there letting me pet her head so I sat down with her. I layed up against her side like a back rest and she hung her head over my shoulder and we just sat there together. Me stroking her nose and her pretty much falling asleep.
About 10 minutes later Vinny came over and touched my chest with his nose and also just stood there with us. For 30 minutes the three of us just hung out. Sadie with her head over my shoulder and Vinny standing with his nose in my chest.

I can't remember feeling so good for a real long time. It was a dream come true to hang out like that.
Sometimes there are days that are just too good.
