Waco wars

I rode Virginia's horse Waco again tonight. A great horse, but quite a pill too. You can tell, even while tacking him up, that he's going to be a challenge. Once again, as soon as I got on, he was ready to canter, so I had to spend a couple laps just trying to keep him at a walk. Quite a ride at the trot again as well. I felt like one of those paddle ball balls, still attached by a long rubber band, but bouncing all over the place. Waco is much more responsive to my weight changes, so he was constantly slowing down and speeding up in response to my balance. He's also easily distracted and very talkative, always moving his head around. The canter on the other hand was once again a joy. I still have some balance issues transitioning into the canter, but overall a really smooth, comfortable canter. Waco is teaching me a lot about my balance opportunities and overall security and confidence.
