Faith is riding a chestnut colored horse now called Rocket. As per her name, she is much zippier than her previous mounts, both ponies. Texas took his name seriously -- big and broad, and about as fast as a Texas drawl unless. Peanut was zippier but a little nutty (so to speak). Rocket likes to GO, which doesn't phase Faith in the slightest.
On Wednesday, she was trotting along when Amanda started throwing challenges at her. Ride around the ring standing in the stirrups at a trot. No problem! Ride with one-hand on your waist at a trot. No problem! Ride one-handed standing in the stirrups at a trot. No problem! In fact, Rocket improved his trot.
Fun to watch, although sometimes I have to turn off the "protective mom" voice in my head and just go with it.
