Depths of Lake
“It’s a Monday, which is bad enough, but considering everything else going on, it’s time for a triumph.
Dust billows around my boots as I step into the barn after lunch. I’ve already fed the horses, rotated them through the pasture, mucked out the stalls. The farrier will be by to shoe the first half of the horses this evening. But right now, I will ride the Devil.
When I get to his stall with his halter and a lead line, he tosses his head and gives a little snort. I hold his eyes as I open the stall door and step inside.
He paws one hoof over the ground and backs away from me. It’s all for show though. We’ve made huge strides lately. I successfully got a bridle and saddle on him two weeks ago. All last week I worked on sitting on him just tied up to a hitching post. He didn’t particularly like it, but he tolerated it.
Today, I will get on his back and ride.
Sir Devil only shakes his head once as I slip his halter on. I clip the lead line under his chin, a...nd we walk out to the hitching post next to the outdoor arena. I tie him up, get his tack, and saddle him up.MoreLess
