yesterday's riding was the BEST!! i rode this 3 YR OLD SORREL (bright chestnut) ARAB!!! she's sooooo cute!!! and her name really is cute too lol. it's CUPCAKE!! <3<3

i was suppose to ride wolfman but they 4got 2 put caro's name on d board. anyhow, me n jun went 2 c zul and in d end he made me ride cupcake and caro rode wolfman. jun rode buzz and elizabeth rode onslow again.

Cupcake's like REALLY tiny... then again she's 3... and she has a REALLY araby head. u noe, all dished and stuff. she's got REALLY nice paces. er steps r real tiny though... think misty maybe a tad smaller.

lol i was kinda nervous abt riding her. so i mounted and did lots of walk -halt transitions. then after that we did like serpentines and circles in trot. did alot of flexing on her and she started tossing her head alot. so i stopped using soo much hand and i just flexed lightly in d corners like sue taught us and she was like SOOOOO EASY TO GET ON D BIT!!! it felt REALLY NICE riding her after that. haha

as usual we did lots of canter. cupcake has NICE trot-canter transitions!! only prob is getting her to keep the canter. it was really fun doing it though. lol she's officially in my top 5 favs :D i just haven't decided what no yet... :P i am so fickle haha
