Presenting: The Goose Chronicles
Yesterday was our first ride together. It wasn’t until I got up on the saddle for the first time I realized how HUGE this guy is. He is tall and wide with a trot that nearly knocked me off the saddle and a canter that actually succeeded.
My record of 25 years of never falling off a horse is now broken. It was 100% my fault but it scared both of us quit a bit. Luckily I was able to grab onto the fence like a cowboy and break my fall 
He also saw English riders for the first time. This boy has grown up on a ranch herding cattle.... let’s just say he was VERY confused
After riding for just one day, I’m starting to see how special this horse is. He is so calm and gentle, but strong and smart. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with him someday
Today I turned him out into an open arena to get his zoomies out. But he just stood there. I went up to him to make sure he new he was “free”, no bridle, no halter, nothing. He then proceeded to follow me around the arena like a puppy. I was not ready
Also, apparently when I walked away to go get his saddle, he nickered after me... my Mom told me when I got back... and once again I was not ready
The scary object of the day was a plastic folding table. This guy can herd and drag cattle, but heaven forbid a table existed in his presence. You would think it was a demon
