On Monday, June 24, 2013, I went riding with Kaia. We started out with me on Reveller and Kaia on Mousey. We went around the lower field for a bit, then Kaia decided to ride Lakota. We then went to the barn and switched Mouse for Lakota. Kaia was bareback on Lakota and I had a saddle. We then went to the top of the Lower Field. Kaia taught me to gate on Reveller by getting Reveller into it and showing me on Lakota. That meant she had to get off Lakota, so she had to get back on which was the hard part, though she did it! Gating is really fun. To do it you have to dig your heels in to the horses sides, split-reign them, and kick them. A gate is a smooth walk that gated horse can to. Houdini, Reveller, Mousey, and Lakota are our gated horses at the ranch. That was the one day this week that I truly gated Reveller . It was incredibly fun. After a bit of gating, Kaia came up with an idea.
