I was sooo excited. Today will be the first time I ride Rocky. I walked into the neatly swept barn and walked down the aisle to Rocky's stall. I whistled my special whistle that only he responds to. His stall guard was up, so he could poke his head out of his stall, and he did. I smiled and walked up to him. "Hey there, boy. How are you doin'?" He nickered, in response, I guess. I laughed as I reached for his halter. I had just gotten it at the Horse Connection the other day. It had a brass nameplate with "When in Rome - Kelsey Breen" written on it. I slipped that onto his nose and over his ears. My cute little 14.3 h.h. pony wasn't much of a reach for me. I took his matching leather halter, which I also got at the Horse Connection, and put the chain through the bottom circle of the halter and clipped it back onto the end of the chain. (you know, so the chain isn't so long) I un-hooked his stall guard and led him out to the cross-ties...
