I rode Elliott (my horse) bareback for the first time!! He was such a good boy! One of my friends held him for me and then walked him around while I was on him! I was so happy and proud of him! We just walked around for a while and he was so good, I could tell he wasn't that sure what I was doing because he had his ears pricked up and he was holding his head up higher than he normally does when I ride him. I'm not going to trot him bareback yet because his trot is bouncy and I still need to work on my balance more while riding him bareback so when I do try to trot him bareback I can maintain good balance so I won't fall off.
