No Go

All dressed up and nowhere to go!

Well, it was a no go. When my dad put the saddle on Ella's back, I realized that there were no attached stirrups, and I have no idea where they are. So we just saddled her and I got up on the mounting block and figured out how I would get on. Why, oh why didn't we get a nice short horse??? It looked like a million miles off the ground! Just the height of the mounting block almost did me in! My mom moved Ella away from the mounting block when I was still standing up there with my dad and I completely freaked and started crying. It all sounded really good when I hadn't seen how far from the ground it looked, just leaning over her back!
