Oh my goodness, this post is late. Cyd is such a slacker, this pony ride happened six days ago but she was too lazy to sort out the pictures and do my typing. I went on a new kind of adventure with LOADS of friends. We had to go in the big stock trailer, which I wasn't too keen on going on the ramp so did a funny hop that everybody laughed at.

All my friends |
I had six friends, and me, so seven ponies total. The most I've been with before has been three ponies total. I didn't get too overexcited, and sometimes I went at the back, sometimes second from the back, and sometimes second from the front.
I didn't go in the very front in case I got stuck, and I didn't go in the very middle cos for some cute girl ponies who might try to kick me. I had to be in a gelding sandwich with ponies I've met before so as not to cause troubles.
There were some logging trucks driving by, and one didn't see us ponies waiting at the side of the road until he was super close and didn't slow down. Only one pony got scared (and it wasn't me), usually they slow down really good for us. Then once we all had our riders we set off to the trail down the road, and a logging truck came. There was nowhere for us to get out the way so he had to wait for us. I was at the back with my Aunt-T, and she and Cyd boomped knees some cos for me trying to snuggle into her pony for safety. I did some prancing and ear wiggling, but mostly was brave even though the big noisy truck was sneaking along right behind me. The beginning of our pony ride was uneventful, I needed some help from Aunt-T to get over a log that was chainsawed that morning so looked and smelled funny, but otherwise I did super good.

Too busy snacking to pose |
It was really super toasty and we went up some big hills in the sun, so Cyd poured a little bit of her water on my neck to cool me down, but she had to drink most of it to keep herself cool too. There was a spot with a puddle and we ponies got to drink from it, but I was a bit scared and had to watch everyone first before I splashed my face in there. We practiced trotting and cantering, and I practiced bouncing and bucking. Cyd usually does 'two-point' cantering up the hills to help both our balancing, but then she nearly fell over my head when I did a buck. Aunt-T was laughing at me a whole lot.

Looking how high up I am |
I did be a bit silly and nearly walk off the edge when we were super high up cos I was too busy concentrating on my snacking to pay attentions. Luckily I know to use Cyd's leg like a barrier so we didn't fall to our doom.

Hanging out with new friend Whisper while the peoples pee and stretch |
Sometimes I got left behind when we did cantering cos for not being as fit as my friends yet, and sometimes Cyd made me just do trotting either cos for my brain being a bit feisty or for me not realising how hot it is and getting out of puff. The trail comes out in a nice field that at the moment has really tall snacks.
|
No need to stretch for these snacks |
|
Cyd had no stirrups and nearly slipped over my face (again) |

Thanks for my snazzy browband Aunt-E |
Once we were done having a little snack, we had to go on a little trail around the field (the gate is locked and there's no gap for ponies to get around anymore, Uncle F has the key but Aunty V doesn't). As we were riding down the road, Cyd put my rope on me and handed it to Aunt-T. We were going adventuring to the creek. I got in pretty quickly cos Aunt-T had me and I just followed her pony, then she set me free cos once I'm in I'm not scared. We had to go across where it was deep, and where it was shallow but running fast. Then it was really pretty, and some places up to my belly!

Cooling off after a sweaty pony ride |

I'm learning how to splash |
Then it was time to get back in the pony trailer and go home for a shower and a roll and a snack.

Hehehe not so clean anymore :) |
Cyd and Aunt-T went running next, then came back to see me for giving me more snacks. I was pretty tired by then.
|
So so sleepy |
My top speed today was 27.7mph. That's really fast for a growing up pony! No wonder I'm super tired. Time for some days off of napping in my field and eating all my food!
