Bareback lessons

I got on Takoda bareback today. This is the first time I have ever been on a horse bareback. She had no saddle, bridle, or halter. I also was not appropriately dressed. I had on blue jean capris and sandles with no helmet. OOPS. It went ok though. We have to work on driving cues. She does the stop ok. I only sat on her for a few minutes but enjoyed almost all of it. I had to get my balance for the first 30 seconds or so.
We got the horses a new toy. It's a hanging apple barn toy. We hung it in the loafing shed. I don't know if they have played with it yet. When I went to town today they had not played with it. I got home and it was too dark to even see where the horses were.
