Because I did not ride Satchmo this week and instead rode Smashing! I asked for my mom to submit an entry for Satchmo's blog:

"As Sara and I arrived for our lesson yesterday morning, Cathy informed us that Bella lost a shoe so she was not rideable. Sara and I looked at each other wondering what was going to happen. We were a little leery when she said that I would be riding Satchmo and Sara would be riding Smash. We looked at each other, not knowing what to expect. I tacked up Satchmo, who had not a care in the world. Sara was already in the ring on Smash, and the two were getting to know each other a little better. Satchmo and I got along quite well; I learned not to have too much contact with the reins as Satchmo becomes all balled up. I enjoyed Satchmo's canter, and we even did a few "X" jumps. Sara took Smash over (or through) one jump, but Smash stepped it up on the next one by going over the jump. . It was a good lesson for all concerned.
