Brat is Back!

Trouble was a great big brat today. I rode, bareback, again. I cut up a Bit of Britain catalog to make dollar bills with. I managed to never lose my dollars (put one under each leg), even when Trouble bucked and acted like a snot. I'd ask her to go forward, she'd come to an abrupt stop, I'd tap her with the crop, she'd buck... My instructor says to just tap her with the crop, and to keep taping her forever until she goes forward. Hitting harder only makes her madder.... I just wish she would quit doing that! It may be time for a "trail" ride, to reboot her brain. Problem is, it's still hunting season around here.

Lesson tomorrow!
