First Ride!

Well, today was the day! And Tally was just fabulous. There are no words to describe how perfect she was! She was really great when I tried all of my tack on earlier this week, so I just knew she would be fine when it came time to ride. I had my friend hold her while I mounted- although, I could have done without the assistance as Tally stood perfectly still while I climbed aboard. We walked around with the lead rope for a lap or so, but we soon realized that we would be fine without the lead.
Unfortunately, she knocked her front left leg in turnout this weekend, and I think she was just a tad stiff on that front leg when we were trotting. That said, we didn't do much today to keep the work light while she adjusts to being ridden again. I had a really difficult time riding well, as I was much too busy grinning. I look pretty horrible, but that's missing the point I guess....I'm just thrilled to have made it this far with her.
She also got her first bubble bath of the season after our ride, and now she is so clean and shiny!
I am just elated, and already looking forward to our next ride together.

*Please excuse the dialogue on the videos...whoopsies! We were too excited!
