Kalau minggu lalu aku naik Ricky, Kamis lalu aku naik Zeddam. I didn't need to saddle this time as another girl was riding him before me. Zeddam is BIG! And he was quite different than Ricky. Zeddam is quite a typical 'manage' horse, he'll do whatever the horse in front of him does, even before I told him to do so. At a certain point it just seems that I don't need to give him instructions (unless to keep him from chasing other horse's tail :p)
Let me tell you about how Zeddam is different with Ricky. First of all, Ricky is quite stubborn, he's quite lazy. Whenever we're trotting, after a certain time (he decides), he started to walk. And when I want to start trotting, I have to kick him very hard - quite difficult to get it hard enough. With Zeddam, when he saw the other horses started to trot, he just start to trot - he doesn't even wait for me to kick him. Ricky is quite a chicken, he got scared easily, that's why we can only jump on (or jump off) him in the corner, when no other horse is nearby). Zeddam on the other hand, is quite afraid of his blanket, Simone told me because once his previous owner sent his blanket to a 'penatu' and apparantly Zeddam was allergic to the washing liquid they use.
So, in conclusion, Zeddam is much bigger than Ricky, but I feel safer on Zeddam (except when at a certain moment he kicked the horse behind him - it was quite scary though, and as I know myself, I just went mute.)
I think I managed to stand and sit better than last week, kali ini nggak sakit2 pantat. Far from perfect, but I see a progress.
