thank you all. she is such a beautiful Kiger, and she knows it. But most important she knew I was nervous. and she didn't balk or try to scare me at all. I am so blessed to have her in my life.

also to let you all know my husband rode her bareback and it was his first time ever (to ride bareback), and he was so impressed with how smooth she was, and he felt she enjoyed it no saddle, just him and her. what do you all feel about his comment.I agree with it.

she is something special, but I am sure we all feel that way about our Kigers, cause I also feel that way about Riddle. I am keeping a scrapbook of all our horse's and what they have done, and before and after pictures.Now my grandkids can see that I rode.

today my inner thighs are killing me, but I will be riding her again tonight and I will ride bare back.she is so round, no withers and the saddle rolls, so I am going to relearn how to ride bare back.and see if I can ride her with just a bare back pad. I am so excited. More so now then when I ride Flashy for the first time. does this make any sense.Also I am doing a scrapbook on our Ranch and the horse's. I work on it every night for a few hours. So my posterity can see Jim and I and understand (I hope) our love for these Kigers. And keep it going.

Yahoo Nola!
What a thrill to be on your very own Kiger, and to share it with people who understand all that it means to make that milestone. You have a special heart just like the Kigers do! Thanks!

was going to ride Stormy today, Jim was helping me get on her, and he ended up pushing me all the way over her, I hit hard, my left cheek bone and my right knee. my knee is bruised, and I will have a black eye and cheek. Stormy was wonderful, she stood so still after I hit the ground.and after I got up she nudged me as if to say u ok ,I hugged her and hobbled off. I hope tomorrow I will be able to get back up on her and ride. Time will tell.
