Fearless Leader Pony

Hey everybodies! How are you? I am fabulous as usual. I did an awesome pony ride on Sunday, but Cyd had to go to her people job for doubleshifts on both last days so she didn't get to hang out much except for giving me my foodstuffs and no time to do my typing for me. I totally did amazing at nearly everything on Sunday. We went to the place with the cows called Orca which is Cyd's favourite place to go pony riding. Easy to see why, look at me being King of the Mountain:

Pretty fancy, huh?

I went on the pony trailer with barely any troubles (it was my favourite kind of pony trailer which helps). I go in the front with my bestie next to me for safeties. I waited totally patiently while the people got ready when we arrived, and got my fly spray like a grown up. Aunty V offered to hold me still for Cyd to do mounting and she said "No Aunty V we're grown ups we can do it ourselves" and I totally showed her up :( Apparently it's especially not appropriate to do bouncing when  your person isn't completely on your back. But I did better than lots of ponies do, just not my usual fabulous. I was pretty brave riding past the cows except the one that was snacking then picked its head up and looked at me funny. Cyd failed at getting cow pictures for me! I was riding with Aunty V at the front, and really good that Cyd was twisting in my saddle to talk to the peoples, and then I was at the back and was really good there too. I did good at getting a drink at the stream, cos that's what I have to do to be an enduring pony, then it was my turn to be the total leader of everybody, even Aunty V. I was in charge of the whole group (five ponies including me). See:

I kept walking too fast, and Cyd had to make me stop to let everybody catch up. Each time we did pausing I grabbed a snackysnack to munch on the way. This was just a walking pony ride as the peoples were not super experienced and we didn't want them to wobble off. I went over the ditches mostly good, except for the ones that were muddy, Bestie had to help me with those. I jumped one a lot too big and everybody laughed at me. We had to go up and up and up and then it was so amazing all the people went "oooh", even Cyd and Aunty V.

Totes amazing! View's pretty good too...

While everybody was waiting for their turn for pictures, I did nuzzling with Poncho. We are learning to be friends - he likes me, but I get nervous when the big ponies get too close during pony rides.

This is our favourite place to come pony riding, and we can totally get to all our other trails from here too. I got a bit tired by the end from doing power-walk up the big hills, so I moved to the back of the line so I could take a break without holding everybody up. Lucky I don't do freak-outs if I get left behind! Look, here's more pictures:

How not to hug your pony...

Thanks Aunty V, I totally stole some of your photos, hope that's okay!
