Meet Miss Bobbi Sue - 10 year old Thoroughbred that hasn't been ridden in a couple of years and was erroneously labeled a killer before that.. This is Sue, working her out on a lunge line to get her warmed up before I make my first attempt to ride her.

This is Me & Bobbi Sue after our first workout - Yes, indeed, the Rumors are True

For those of you who are confused. It's ok, I know what I'm doing.

(Ain't a horse that can't be rode... Ain't a rider can't be throwed.... I won round 1 with minimal bruising)

And just for the record, she did buck and I didn't fall.

And yes, I did have to stand on a bucket to get to the stirrups to get on.

It was the best workout I've had in years. Doing it again ASAP.

Illusions To The World

The person that you think you see

May just not In fact, be me.

A mere charade A masquerade

To make you laugh Or be afraid

To make your spirits Soar or sink

To make you smile Or stop and think

As old or as young As I need to be...

So ..... Am I the person You think you see?
