A tip to know if a saddle fits right on a horse

Hello! Today I went and rode my horse which was lots of fun! The weather has been soo beautiful lately and I rode around in the field that was filled with clover and butterflies were EVERYWHERE!! It was so pretty and fun. Anyways, one way you can tell that a saddle fits on a horse correctly is that after you take the saddle off (and if you've been riding for a while or working your horse pretty well) there will be sweat from where the saddle was on your horse's back. There should be sweat all over the place where the saddle was sitting...if there is a spot with no sweat, you will know that your saddle isn't completely touching the horse's body. Your saddle should sit well on your horse's back and not have any spots where it's not touching. Here is a picture of my horse (Summer) when I took off her saddle today:

As you can see, pretty much her whole back is covered in sweat which means my saddle fits pretty well! :) Have a great day everyone!

Some things I'm thankful for today:

1. Butterflies and pretty moths.

2. All of God's gorgeous plants.

3. The flying feeling you get when you are cantering on a horse!

4. God's love which He shows through the animals He's created.

Some things I'm thankful for

Rachel from the blog Bundles of blessings (whatbundlesofblessings.blogspot.com) did this on her blog and I thought it was a great...so I'm going to do it too! I am going to list some of the things I'm thankful for on this post, and you all can comment and write what you are thankful for. Sometimes it's nice to read other people's things their thankful for because you realize you are thankful for those things to! It doesn't matter how many you do, just a few things you think of! So here are mine...

1. My family that loves me and loves Jesus
2. All of the beautiful sunsets I get to see where I live
3. All the bugs I here outside my window right now! :)
4. My wonderful horse
5. God who always loves us...no matter what we do

For the post below this

The Letter from hell was made by this boy who didn't tell his friend about Jesus and he made this video to try to make people to tell Jesus to others more seriously. We really need to think more about this. I always get so nervous about talking to people about God because I'm afraid I'll mess up or they will reject me, but I think I just (if I meet someone who doesn't know God) need to get over it and think of them before myself! Now, the video is a little creepy, but it's true. We are all saved through Jesus Christ and we need to go out and tell the world what Jesus can do if they believe in Him!

Bathing chickens!

Hey!! I know that bathing chickens sounds very strange...but I helped bathe my friend's chickens yesterday and it was actually very easy and fun! We took two small plastic garbage cans and filled one with soapy water to clean them with and then one with water to rinse them with. When we put them in the garbage cans to wash them and dry them, they barely seemed to mind at all! They looked so cute and can float on the top of the water like a duck! After we were done, they were shivering because they were cold so we dried them off with a hair dryer which they didn't mind a bit. Just thought I'd share this odd sounding but fun experience I had! haha :)
