Bareback!

Hello all, Gem here, with some very exciting news to share.  On Monday, August 1st, at 6:30 PM, I earned the bareback award! :D

I was completing an exp contract for a Percheron, who has the most amount of wins and is #6 for exp, in case you were wondering, in Cutting Group II, and I have no idea how much exp I started with or won, but I had finally reached 5,000 exp!

So, I immediately headed over to my ranch isle to ride my first horse, Reef, tackless for the first time <3

Reef from the front...

And from the side <3

 And then, of course, I took the tack off of all of my horses who had over 1,000 exp and rode them bareback too :)

Boy, am I going to enjoy having saddles be optional from now on! :) And now that I've earned the bareback award, I get to visit Artemis the Esroh! I'm excited to meet her and (eventually) earn her agility bonus :D
