1st ride!

You would never know the quiet 3 year old in an aisle full of horses was a WILD MUSTANG only 30 days ago! March 12 marks the 30 day mark which means only 60 more to go. It has been a while since I have blogged which means the weather has been nice and I have been busy out at the barn! Today is the first day it has rained in over a week. Where to start? Riding on the lunge line has become an old hat trick. Andy and I have gotten on him using a mounting block and jumping up without one too. He has explored the properties 3 outdoor arena's and indoor arena too. He can walk the cavaletti's without even blinking. Maybe he will be a hunter/jumper? I used protective galloping boots when I lunge him, he looks so cute. He is also using side reins to support his neck and self carriage development. He gets so sweaty after a workout, I know he is tired! He also is working on getting a bath. He likes to be sprayed in the face but no where else (go figure). Yesterday, I sprayed the front half of his body, including his legs. It was a big deal compared to the first time he danced around like it was going to kill him! I hope to have him riding off the lunge line by this weekend. Check back for more updates soon! And PS If you know of ANYONE who is able to give us a RIDE to the SHOW in May PLEASE contact me! I was going with another trainer that had to drop out and now I have no way of getting there...
