>>I walked into the barn & grabbed a nylon lead rope off
>>of one of my horses stalls.I walked down to one of the
>>various mares pastures @ Timeless Farm & let myself
>>in.I walked over to a palomino QH mare named Peaches
>>N' Cream.Peaches rubbed on me as I clipped a lead rope
>>to her halter.I let her since she didn't have any tack
>>on.I had found that Peaches rubbed against just about
>>anyone.This included other horses.I patted the pretty,
>>6 y/o mare & led her up to the mares barn.I put
>>Peaches in her stall & walked to the tack room.I
>>grabbed a grooming tote, a western trail/show/
>>pleasure saddle, a silver plated breastplat & a
>>regular western bridle.I carried all of this back to
>>Peaches stall, & started grooming the beautiful,
>>golden colored mare.Peaches enjoyed being groomed &
>>relaxed.When I haf finished grooming Peaches, I put on
>>her tack.Peaches was good about being saddled, and
>>took the bit when she felt it being pushed into her
>>mouth.Peaches had excellent ground manners, & was good
>>about practically everything.After I had led Peaches
>>to the arena & had lunged her for about 15 minutes, I
>>mounted her.I kept my reins long & loose, and relaxed
>>into the saddle, but still sat up and kept my
>>shoulders straight.Peaches barely needed a squeeze
>>toget her to walk.The 15.2 hand mare kept her neck
>>staight & down, and moved like a western horse
>>should.I walked the QH maref or a couple of minutes
>>before gently squeezing her into a western
>>dog-trot.Peaches had smooth, slow movement, & her
>>stride was very easy to sit to.After a few laps of
>>dog-trotting in both directions, I got Peaches to pick
>>up a jog.After a while of jogging, I had her pick up
>>the faster trot, & did that with her for a while
>>before loping & cantering in both directions.Then I
>>worked on backing up with her, which she did
>>perfectly, & took her on a quick trail ride so Peaches
>>could cool off.After the quick trail ride, I
>>dismounted & led the palomino QH mare back up to the
>>stable where I untacked her, fed her a carrot & the
>>led her down to her pasture.In the same pasture, were
>>her old pasture mates from when Meghan had owned her,
>>a dapple grey TB mare named Silver Sparkles, & a sandy
>>chestnut Dutch Warmblood mare named Double-Dutch, or
>>Dutchess for short.I unclipped the navy blue &
>>burgandy colored lead rope from Peaches leather halter
>>& set her free in the pasture.Then I walked back up to
>>the stable to clean my tack with leather cleaner.
