In Oliver we trust!!!
It didn’t start pouring until after I started my 9 am lesson. We tried to ride for a few minutes. But then decided it was futile. But then we were stuck in the indoor w a moat all around us and bad lightening. After about 20 minutes we had one of the grandpas drive down to us, picked the kids and parent up. They grabbed me halters for Oliver and Toodles and then headed out. We had already removed saddles. I had resigned myself to getting my pants, socks and shoes soaked…but then I thought “hey, I have the sweetest kindest horse here. I can ride him ba****ck and pony Toodles to the barn” I didn’t even bother to rebridle him. Just tied the leadrope and hopped on. He did question that the “deep” water was safe but once he realized there was good footing underneath, he marched up to the barn like a champ!! Best boy Oliver, best boy!!
