And now for something COMPLETELY different

Next big and wonderful thing... riding brainless - err um reiness.  That is what Jenny called it.  So you have the reins tied over the horn and don't use them.  but use your legs and your stick... and a little rope around JRs neck.  Have I told you what a pretty beautiful soul my J.R, ia.. beautiful inside and out.  He is a sturdy - sensitive lover of people - a champion of strength and trust.  And he is a huckleberry..  he is my huckleberry.  Do you remember that phrase Val Kilmer says -- in the wonderful movie Tombstone.. if you haven't seen it -- you oughta.  Any way - It seems that the word came to be given as a mark of affection or comradeship to one’s partner or sidekick. To be one’s huckleberry — usually as the phrase I’m your huckleberry — is to be just the right person for a given job, or a willing executor of some commission. I digress..

A reinless huckleberry - Jenny had us practice moving a bit and we  did well.  Then it was suggested I use no reins.  Now I did this gladly-- with little concern. My companion was sturdy and trustworthy.  We did great -- it is freeing -- and what to do with your hands besides hold on the horn.  IT is different.  not sure if it is my confidence or his... but it worked!
