Favorite fall semester class!

These are my new cowgirl boots.  I love them! 

This was after my first day of riding. 

This is my assigned horse for the semester.  Her name is Paloma.  My first time riding her was pretty intense for me.  Riding horses is still a little intimidating for me.  Paloma is the dominant female in the group of horses.  Because of this she likes to run up to the front of every other horse.  She doesn't like to stop either.  Paloma is a gated horse.  The class always jokes that my horse rides like a Mercedes.  On my first ride she actually tripped when I was on her.  Her front legs went down, but then quickly popped back up.  It definitely made my heart jump.  I hope to get confident and comfortable when riding.  So far I love it!
