Written: January 3, 2013 - I'm trying to catch up on a few things I let slip by...
Ever since I took Trick to the horse rescue for the first time, he has been a little bit in love with them... I knew he wanted to ride one more than anything so I decided to work a little Christmas magic :)
Krista and I picked him up in the afternoon - he had absolutely no clue what we were doing. We just told him to dress warm and be ready for anything! :)
When we pulled into the driveway of the barn, I think he was in shock but Krista and I were loving every second of it!
At first we thought he was going to ride Dustin so we brought him into be groomed, but he ended up switching to Brody at the last minute! (Brody is BEAUTIFUL...) He rode Western and did really well! He walked, trotted, worked on weaving in and out of some orange cones, and then even had a chance to ride bare back a little!
(P.S. I'm sorry in advance for the quality of some of these photos... I didn't have the greatest camera with me and the lighting was super weird...)

Here's a picture of Trick grooming Dustin! (Dustin has super light blue eyes... I promise he's not scared/angry/creepy!!)
We got Brody all saddled up and Krista helped Trick get him into the arena! Brody was wearing his show tack so he was all blinged out for Trick! (Whooooo felt the need to ride in sunglasses?) :)
Kelli was giving Trick the rundown of how this whole "getting on" thing was going to work...
And he's up and ready to go!!
Bareback cool down!
Krista seems to have been a little skeptical of what Brody was thinking at this point... but he's pretty so we forgive him for being a little frisky :)
After he finished riding, Trick wanted to spend a little time visiting Tiny... I think he was Trick's favorite :) (And as you can see, is definitely not very tiny!! And also didn't really want to stand still for a photo op..)
(Tiny was apparently also feeling playful...)
