Yes, you are reading that right! At least that is what Grace was thinking tonight at Triple P Open Arena. She has not been scared of anything yet, but the roping steers that were in a pen behind the 2nd barrel gave her the shakes! It took about 20 minutes, maybe longer, to get her over her fear. We had help from other people who would take their horses up there and sit, so it would show Grace they wouldn't eat us :) Once she finally got past the fear, we went back to riding. I thought why not take her through the pattern a time or two. This is the first time she has been taken through the actual barrel pattern. I was amazed at how well she listens to my body. When I sit down in the saddle, she slows down or stops. She doesn't really go on until I lean up and drive my hands forward. That tells me a lot about her already. I'm hoping she will listen that well when it comes time to run.
