Heated indoor arena
My friend Jane and I
took the Fjords to the indoor arena at the
fairgrounds this morning to ride during their "open
riding" session. Ah, how nice to get out and ride
again! The weather has not been very cooperative. We
were both dressed for frigid temps because we didn't
realize that the indoor would be heated. It was
rather toasty in there.
Neither Belle nor Ivy had been ridden since I took lessons on them in early December, but they were both very well behaved, especially considering they'd never been there before. There were several other riders there, all on Quarter Horses, and one of the QHs was a little freaked out by the Fjords. He kept staring at them as if he couldn't quite make out what the heck those little mohawk ponies were! Pretty funny. But it reminded me that whenever I take the Fjords somewhere, they're going to end up being "ambassadors" for the breed just because the breed is so rare. So they better continue being well behaved!
The county just opened up this morning "open riding" session, and we plan to make good use of it in the future!
