Things did not go so bad catching Booger, until trying to find a halter for him and he tried running me over. Then he tried to grab at some straw that wasn't for him, or it was not in good condition. Getting him out to the arena and on him was easy, as was the 3 hour ride, I tried to post a little during trot but not much. We worked on cantering, jumping/hopping, winding around poles and trotting. He did pretty damn good for 3 hours, and I could tell that little girl Dela was jealous because she wanted to be on Booger. I nicely told her that I was going to be owning Booger here real soon, just so she knew that once that deal went down then she wouldn't be able to ride him anymore.
After letting Booger back out in the pasture, it was my turn to ride Randy, a 2,000 lb Percheron Draft horse. At 18 hands high, he was definitely a beast! I felt safe on him though, and I also felt like I was riding a elephant instead of a horse. The rest of the day is going to be lazy and then tomorrow is Father's Day so we will be going to my Grandma Mary's house at noon to hang out with the family.
