I decided that it was time to move from the small Albetta saddle to the normal sized leather saddle. Wasn't sure how Mia would take this. The wind was starting to kick up and she gets a little full of herself when the wind blows. She did pretty well. With the help of mom I lifted the saddle on top of her and then gradually cinched it down. I walked her around for a little while. She was really doing well, so I thought I would attempt putting my foot in the stirrup. No problem, I even put a little pressure on the stirrup before she decided to move away from me.
I hope that all of you in the hurricane area are doing alright. You are in my thoughts and prayers. We were very fortunate, the predicted weather for us didn't happen. Everything went to the east of us. Lauren & Caitlyn, I know it must of been difficult having to evacuate again so soon after the last hurricane. I hope all is well at your house & with your horses.
For a lot of you, you will be leaving soon for your trip to Ft Worth, please be safe. I can't wait to meet each and every one of you. Until later this week.
