Skijoring.

Hubby and I had a game plan this morning, and we set out for the barn ready to make some bad questionable awesome decisions. Hubby has been bugging me to try skijoring for forever. We never got around to trying it with Red, and Storm would have kicked Hubby's head off, but Bobby is the perfect candidate.

"uhhh, i guess i'm ready?"

There were no jumps and no mad galloping as the only flat, safe spot to attempt this was the outdoor, but I am still counting it as skijoring. Hubby was on skis being pulled by a wild mustang.

We started off with Hubby skiing behind and around Bobby as Bobby paid zero attention to him. After half a lap of this, we said "Screw it" and looped the rope around the saddle horn. We moved up slowly from the walk to trot to canter, and Bobby just stepped out with zero hesitation. He could have cared less. He was frolicing in the snow and he was totally happy.

Granted Bobby is a pretty chill dude all around, but I think most horses would have no problem doing this. He was definitley having to pull, but the skis are so quiet he probably didn't even realize what he was doing. So everyone should try it!!

After Hubby had had his fill, Bobby and I cantered around on our own a bit, complete with a flying change. Sneaky bastard. I knew you knew them!

Such a good dude. I can't wait for my helmet camera to get here so we can do this again.
