Have you ever played flag football? well guess what I never played it on foot but the first time I played it was on horseback! Sunday night I played flag football with my friends and my trainer. There were 3 people on my team; my team was the yellow, the other team was blue. Flag football is where you kind of have a belt around your waist with colored ribbons with one color ribbon on each side. You pass the ball (not throwing it), just handing it, to your team mates and you can only hold the ball for 10 seconds and you try to get the ball into the goal, but the other team can stop you by pulling off your colored ribbon (it's just velcro).
This game is kind of hard because the horses get really close and could kick or buck at each other. So I was really trusting Blossom a lot and she was trusting me a lot to do the game together.
It was all fun, even though my team wasn't really winning but that didn't matter and sometimes we did get scores. We had a fun time because some of us would do funny things and we would all laugh together. I loved it even more because for the first time I cantered for the very first time although it wasn't on purpose.
Here's the story: we were playing flag football and the other team had the ball; most of my teammates were on the other end trying to get the ball but I got left behind so I turned around and because we were all kind of excited she started to canter to catch up with everybody. Everybody saw and told me 'good job,' but that was a totally different canter than I've ever felt so I thought it was bucking, but it was an actual canter. I felt really proud of myself & my horse.
