Slow down Rachel, slow down......

I keep getting ahead of myself! I see all my friends doing all these things and I get upset that I can't do them. The fact that I've only owned him for two weeks just doesn't register in my mind. I just need to slow down and take things one step at a time. I had a good ride with Tobey though.

The girls who were with me that only wanted to run weren't there so I could concentrate on my riding. I mostly walked and played the turning game

I did a little bit of trotting though. Also I think Tobey has realized that I'm his mommy

When I got to the barn, no one was there so I just got Tobey out and brushed him and loved on him. We were in front of the fan, so I just pulled up a bucket and sat down

He stayed near me all the time licking my pants and wanting to be petted! Then I took him down the indoor arena and just let him loose. He was getting bored and finding ways to entertain himself, which is NEVER a good thing, lol

He wouldn't leave my side though! I walked around and he followed with his head near my shoulder!! Then I sat down and he came over and stood next to me and I petted him. He's so sweet though, such a good boy
