Sandy
Fall of 2010, my friend had asked me if i wanted to ride her horse. After riding a few times with her present, she had decided that i could ride by my self. She was in need of her horse getting worked more often than she could get out, so Sandy had basically become my second horse, due to me frequently riding her.
Eventually, i had started trotting her and we are doing really well. We still cant officially canter yet, but we ended up one day due to an accidental cueing on my part, though she did really good. Recently we've started bareback and thats going pretty good.
***UPDATE***
We are now officially cantering on a regular basis, though i currently have to work on getting confortable with her gait. We hope to possibly be showing speed this year.

Actually, the second time i rode her, she had ended up running off with me, and i did end up falling off. I had stayed on longer than anyone had, and the only reason i fell was because she had badly stumbled and fallen onto her front legs, making me fall over her head. I got back on and all was well.
