What's up with all this riding???

Geez!  Had one of the toughest weeks ever!  Just when I thought life was great; no riding, just some showmanship practice for MOM and lots of attention and grass.  Then I went to the vet who said I could be ridden and that was the end of good times.  I went to a pretty lady who rides me for a long time and doesn't let me get by with ANYTHING two times in 5 days!  And yesterday MOM and her filly, Allie took me the neighbor's arena (it's huge!)for a ride.  I really like that place.  I thought I could run around and buck and play once I was in the arena because the other horses were doing that in their pasture.  But MOM and the filly, Allie had other ideas.  I mean, I've been known to buck and play before, I don't understand why it wasn't ok this time.  MOM could've hung on and stayed on my back while I acted out, right?  She wanted to get off, but the filly insisted she stay on and correct what she called my "bad behavior".  I was surprised that MOM did just that.  And she continued to ride me while I got a bit more focused on my job at hand.  Things were boring after that.  MOM rode me for a while and then she and filly Allie worked me in hand doing that stupid showmanship stuff.  I was tired since they rode me at the pretty lady's the day before for a couple of hours.  I was glad to make the short trip home.  Kinda hoping I don't see any of them today........even though I think this picture of me and the filly Allie is nice.....
