More on Axel's little addiction in the next post. The day after Thanksgiving the whole family, well Jeff and his sister and niece and nephew and I, went to the barn to visit the horses. We cleaned off the mud, saddled them up, and rode around the arena for a while. Jeff, his sister, and nephew left Amanda and I in the arena to ride while they went home to play video games. Amanda cruised around on Cody and practiced doing turns while trotting. Something she said is hard to do on her horse, Silver, because he's got a much bumpier trot than Cody. Axel and I plodded along at the walk and the occasional trot and even a bit of a canter. I set up the cones to do some weaving. Cody and Amanda made it through the course at the trot.
When we were done we passed out some carrots and broccoli. The horses weren't quite sure what to think of the broccoli but in the end they ate it. They much prefer the baby carrots though. We practiced bowing with the carrots which leave my fingers a little more intact than with the small treats.
