Riding ponies

A couple of days ago, the lady came back to see us and she put the strappy thing around my head and I walked with her the whole way past my dad Bob's pasture and up the hill by where those big horses live.  We didn't see the big horses but their entire pasture was white.

The lady said the little daisy-like flowers covering it are called camo-meal and they smell really nice.  So we went to the barn she put a real saddle on my back -- not the brown lumpy thing that is so light you can hardly feel it -- but the kind made out of cows. (I don't know if this is a myth, but it is what I heard.  It does not look like a cow.)  Then she put a thing with straps around my  head but no metal part in my mouth and it had straps to where she could hold on after she sat on top of me.  We went out to the big arena and I got to walk around out there where there are white sticks on the ground.  The lady sat on my back and pulled my head this way and that.  Then a different lady showed up and she was really pretty.  She was my size and had on fancy boots.  But she didn't have any carrots, so it is hard to determine how nice she is. I walked around the arena while the ladies talked and then I got to go back to my pasture with both of the ladies escorting me.  I was VERY important. Then the ladies took my mom, Tudi, up to the barn and put the saddle on her too.  Billy was in the barn and when my mom Tudi saw him, Wow, she was blown away with how incredibly handsome he was looking.  I mean, like she didn't want to leave his side. She just stood by his stall, swooning and saying "Take me now!"  The ladies did not appreciate Tudi's adoration of Billy -- they thought she should go outside and pretend to be a riding pony, like she learned to do a long time ago, before she was my mom.  Our regular lady got on Tudi's back and they were walking around in the yard, but every time Billy would call out to her, she would stop.  She was not shy in showing her affection for Billy, which frankly would be a bit embarrassing depending on where you were.  So then the lady said she is going to need more practice at being a riding pony and then she had to stay in the barn for a little while.  We both got some carrots, but all in all, it was not an overly carrot-heavy day.
