Look at you two! How fantastic, I'm glad Taz was good.

Nine is back to his old self now that he got to run for a bit. And now that my knee is almost healed I have been picking up his feet and such again. The day after I fell I tried to pick up Nine's back feet, but he must have sensed that I was scared (I couldn't move away or duck if I needed to!) so he stamped his foot at me, and I gave up... But we're back at it and as soon as I picked up his foot confidently he didn't bother trying any funny business :P I also ordered a mounting block with my $100 Smith Bros. gift certificate, so in a few weeks when that gets here I'll start using that. In the mean time, I want to get more bareback rides on Nine. That way he'll be okay with me when I try the saddle again, and it will be combining two things he's used to, rather than anything still being pretty new. And I hopefully won't get buck off!
