John has been here in Oregon for the past week.  We have loved having him here and he has had some new experiences.  One was riding BaeBee today.  He did very well.  We saddled her up and he took the reins.  I rode Honey with a bareback pad, which is so fun.

I am getting better at balancing without stirrups.  I am starting to understand how aids work because while riding bareback I find I am using much more of my body in the turns, etc.  Even if we just take a couple trips up and down the road, getting in a ride every day is so wonderful!
