Hestepåsitting

Benet til Biloxi er ikke bra, men selv om jeg er tung er litt ombordstigningstrening forhåpentligvis ikke for mye belastning. Først og fremst ville jeg bare se hvordan han reagerte på henging over ryggen, at jeg slang over benet osv. Det tok han med knusende ro, i den grad det går an for en så entusiastisk herre å ta noe som helst med knusende ro... Da jeg satt meg opp var det heeeelt i orden. Og eneste jeg merket var at han var veldig bakovertenkende, det vil si at fokus i veldig stor grad var på meg, slik at det var vanskelig å få ham til å tenke fremover. Men jeg var sleip nok til å utstyre Ingrid med en håndfull godbiter, slik at han tuslet pent etter henne. Jeg må innrømme at jeg synes han er liten, men jammen er han balansert og god å sitte på!
Etter at jeg var ferdig med Biloxipåsitting spurte jeg Sioux om å få sitte på. Hun var høflig og grei som hun pleier, men det var nedtur å kjenne hvor mye muskler hun har mistet - for første gang kjennes hun spiss å sitte på - og hvor ujevnt hun beveger seg. Tuslet naturligvis bare bittelitt, og er glad for at hun ikke virket som om hun syntes det var fælt at jeg satt på.

Biloxis tendon isn't fine yet, but even if I am on the heavy side I was thinking that a bit of mounting practice wouldn't be too streneous. I really just wanted to see how he reacted to me hanging over his back, throwing my leg across his back etc. And he took it all as calmly as a horse as enthusiastic as he can. When I actually mounted he was totally cool with it. The only thing I noticed was that he was very backward in his focus, so I was sneaky and gave Ingrid some treats to hold in her hand while walking about. Biloxi was happy to follow her, so I got to feel exactly how balanced and comfortable he is. Little, but perfect!
After I was done with him I asked Sioux for a ride. She was polite, but it was sad to feel how much muscle she's lost and how unevenly she moves. I hopped off after a short while, and am happy she wasn't as upset as I.
