Yesterday, I took Smokey out on a trail ride with a couple others and it didn't go so well. I was having reservations about him last night, until I realized that trail riding isn't really what I want to do. I want to do reining, try showing, and learn on a horse who knows all the maneuvers. That's what Smokey is. If I want him to get better with trail riding, I can have the trainers take him out and get him adjusted to life outside the arena. For now though, I think he's perfect. I rode today in the arena and I remembered why I want him. He's the most fun horse I've ever ridden.
I told my trainer that I want him, and made an offer. Hopefully we'll be signing paperwork tomorrow and I'll be able to call him mine. :)
In other news, my mare still hasn't sold. She's a real sweet girl, so I'm hoping she finds a good home soon. Someone is coming to look at her on Saturday, so if all goes well she might be sold this weekend. We shall see!
