More bareback fun.

With the approaching storms, all the horses were bent upon killing their riders. Kay ran off with Claire four or five times, and Berky bucked with me bareback at every canter depart. I thought it was his saddle pad annoying him, but I took it off and he persisted. Argh. I know he wasn't sore, nor was I doing anything differently. Horses ahahaha.

Well, I am pleased I stayed on. He threw some really big ones, too- once I ended up on his withers, but other than that, it wasn't too bad. I smacked his butt and made him canter on, and he'd eventually settle down, but eventually it got bad enough that I got off and longed him. We were in the dressage arena and I wasn't really thinking it would be fun to go over the fence.
