glenatronAfter a midday lesson with Julian we went off to visit ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evil_c and Asher and their herd of ponies in the afternoon.
It was pretty cold and wet, but we brought in Lizzie and gave her hugs and grooming and scratches and general attention ( which she loves ) and then tried putting our treeless saddles on her to see how she got on with them.
I rode her on my saddle and she was very sweet- forwardgoing and willing, especially once I got the rein short enough for her to really trot forward. Her trot is beautifully smooth and pony-like and something about her combination of size, willingness and general nature suggested to me that she would make a tremendous cowhorse.
We also got to meet the rest of the herd, Tari being sweet natured and rambuctious, Piceur being friendly and very striking in motion and Curly thinking he'd quite like to come and say hello only he wasn't sure we were to be trusted and anyway Lizzie said he wasn't allowed to talk to her new friends. Watchingevil_c and sleepsy_mouse playing welsh-pony tennis with him while they tried to persuade him into his stable so he could enjoy dinner without the girls stealing it was very entertaining. Curly seemed to be having a lovely time too.
Tari - either she had been wearing too much mascara for the rainy weather or her foalie-fluff is being shed.
Lizzie is inquisitive about the camera.

Asher has a dressage horse.
It was a really nice day and a pleasure to find some other imaginary internet friends are awesome in real life as well as in imaginary internetland.
