At the Hitching Post

Mr. Banderas at the Hitching Post

I like being in a neighborhood where it’s not so unusual to see someone either ride up on horseback or take their horse on a lead for a stroll.  Earlier this week I saddled Banderas for the first time with the wee little western saddle and later took him for a walk.

Although the pony seemed convinced that mailboxes are a new species of super scary stationary monster, he did pretty well.  He was level headed with bicycles and tricycles moving noisily down the street.  Overall he’s a bit pushy and filled with piss & vinegar; I can start to see how he flunked out of being a child’s pony on the first try.  Think we’re going to need alot of line driving around the roads before getting a cart hooked up.
