Most of you guys, if you follow my Instagram (@clicksnclucks) know that Dante is my favorite horse. As we recently started riding at Fourways Riding Center, I wished that we could take Dante there, though I knew very well we couldn’t, but I just wanted him to come there.
On our first lesson, I rode a.. hmm, I think, a dark bay color, I am not so sure. His name is Wakker, full name is Harmony Wakker, but just called Wakker. The very first day, I liked him, and he made it swiftly up to my favorite horses endless list. Before we started, my favorite horses top 3 went like so:
- Kojak
- Dot
- Dante.
Quickly though, he was able to knock Kojak out of my top 3, remaining in my top 4, though. I really loved Kojak too, but I really didn’t see her anymore. I didn’t ride her, I didn’t even hear about her. Not saying I didn’t like her anymore, do not take me wrong! Dante and Dot held their places, until last Friday. I rode Wakker again, and though it wasn’t such a smooth ride again, I kept on bouncing in the saddle, but he moved Dot to 3.
After that lesson, my brother asked me, “be honest, you like Wakker more than Dante already right? be honest!” “NOPE!” was my answer, clear and flat! Because, that is just the case. It is that I love Dante better than Wakker. Now, my list of top 3:
- Dot
- Wakker
- Dante.
It will probably continue to be like so, or at the most, like so:
- some other horse from 4ways or Kojak
- soem other ‘orse from 4ways or Dot
- Dante and Wakker, both! BTW, If I find myself a good photo of Wakker, I’ll put it up.
Okay, now help me out here. HOW IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE DO I STOP BOUNCING WHILST CANTERING???????????! I am always, little forward, flop! back, little forward, flop! back! It is so hard! I got it on Dante, but I just cannot get it on Wakker! Please help me! any tips would be welcome.
