Leggs the Western Pony

This morning I woke up early and and my dad took me to the barn. I fed all the horses (well the ones that need feed.) Then I was starting to walk Leggs around then Kevin pulled up. He said he was going on a trail ride, and that the guy that was going to go with him changed his mind. So he said if he had known before that night he would have told the 4h ers that we could go. But he had only found out late that night. So he said I could go with him. So we left for Carvens Cove. When we were starting to saddle up there were horse flies everywhere and Kevin ended up killing 7 before we even left to ride. We left to ride and the horse flies we're all over us, it was TERRIBLE! Though we figured out a trick that if we jogged or lopped (sorry I am using western terms I rode Leggs western so I promised Kevin that I would only use western terms today)and the flies wouldn't get on us or the horses. We were finally done riding and we headed for home (hopetree). We had fun even though we had a rough time with all the horse flies. I felt so bad thy the other 4h ers couldn't come with us, but they should be thankful that they didn't come so they didn't get eaten alive. :)
