Today I rode Dixie while my sister brought out Missy to watch and my brother in law rode Ventura (Sister's horse). Well I was riding Dixie on this strip of land before my street (Dixie spooks at nothing and cars come by like one an hour so she was fine) and this car was coming and I asked her to trot.
Apparently my horse knows how to pick up a canter from a walk!
I was thrown back a little in the saddle (Possibly a little kick?? I stayed on though) and suddenly Dixie was cantering. I thought she was trotting though! But as I slowed her I realized she wasn't slowing to a walk she slowed to a trot XD. So I turned to my mom, dad, sister, and brother in law and I'm like "Did we just canter?"
And I have cantered before but not on Dixie since my sister said she's to advanced for me to canter but it was fine with me controlling her so I'm trying it again tomorrow
So that was my clueless horsey incident for the day! XD
