CRAZY.
I simply do not know where the time has gone. I can't believe that a year ago, I was picking up this free, little red horse and thinking a) "Did I just make a mistake?", b) "Will I be able to afford 2 horses, or will this end in miserable failure?" and c) "Oh my gosh another horse! A registered one! A paint! What will I call her?"
I called my mom to inform her of our anniversary, and her response was,
Mom: "A year?"
Me: "Yes! Can you believe it?"
Mom: "I can't believe it has only been a year."
Me: "I know! How has it already been... wait, what?"
Mom: "I would have thought that you've had her like, 2 or 3 years."
Hmm. Well, alright then.
I'd like to think that Sienna is better off from working with me this past year. I think she has made a lot of progress since last January. She is pretty good to handle on the ground and in the saddle, she walks, trots, canters, and whoas like a big girl both on the longe line and under saddle, she knows, if she steps on her lead rope (my bad), to give her face rather than fighting against it, and she has a new registered name that makes people laugh (with her, not at her).
I don't know that we will make our next anniversary, but I certainly appreciate the experience and the confidence that she has given me this last year.
