We rode today and Blue did one of his rare (but quite capable) buck routines. I did not go off, but remember the ground getting reeeaaally far away as he went up. He did it right beside Anne and Radar and Anne's comment was "you were this high! (holding her hand over her head) and I'm on a horse!" Luckily for me I managed to bring his head around and stop him before a third buck. Yikes too much good feed and not enough exercise! But, Blue warned me several times that he was going to have to buck -- I longed him with the saddle on, but then tightened the girth before mounting and his eyes bugged out when I did. But I thought (in a moment of foolishness) that I would just trot him around until he got out of that .... well he was holding his breath and he kept trying to lope and I knew what was going to happen if he loped .... and it did <G> got off and readjusted the saddle and then longed a lot more then just walked him cool and will see what happens tomorrow!
