        <description><![CDATA[I wish I knew the answer for you but a few things I would suggest:

1) wear a helmet (I'm guessing you're already doing this)
2) could the horse be in some kind of pain? I'm told horses buck, not usually to be ornery but rather as a result of something that's uncomfortable to them. If the saddle and saddle page are properly fitted and you're riding the horse properly, perhaps the reason is some kind of discomfort or pain that is otherwise not evident. 

Moonshine reared up and dumped me off once and it was a pretty scary experience, not to mention dangerous. Please do research why your horse is doing this for your safety and those around you. Let us know what you find, please.

Anyone else with some advice?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Thanks for that note, Tara! I don't think I've seen that spreader. Seems like a great deal for around $700 brand new. I'll check it out.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It's been unseasonably warm in TN this week...in the 70's. I haven't been able to ride all week but I sure wanted to. Cold weather is coming. How does the outside temperature affect your riding? Do you take the winter off?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[FYI, I was at a feed and tack store recently and on their bulletin board someone was selling a slightly used, new model manure spreader for $995. 10 minutes earlier I saw the same one at Tractor Supply for $1,500. I'm guessing used manure spreaders are rare but it reminded me to keep an eye out on the feed store bulletin boards for deals. I didn't have an extra $995 laying around that time but hopefully I'll find a similar deal when I do.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Not a bad idea, Roger. I just wish I had a bush hog! Too bad we aren't closer geographically. I'd love to find a few people who would be interested in buying a spreader as a co-op. I don't need to use it every week. Maybe once or twice a month.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[We're accumulating a good deal of manure now and could really use a manure spreader. Have you seen these? Basically a manure spreader is a cart you pull behind a tractor or four wheeler. As you pull it, the trailer axle turns a pulley that flings the manure out and another than pushes the manure to the back of the trailer to be flung out. I found one for $1800 but I really don't need one full time. I wish someone rented these. 

What do you use, if anything?]]></description>

Sounds like you're having a great time! As a fellow beginner, I also revel in those moments when I've done something "all by myself". Now if we can just keep doing them, I think we'll have the hang of it! :-)]]></description>
