Weather, Nice. Sunny and breezy.
Bugs, Terrible!
So today since it was so nice out this morning I thought a trail ride would be nice. So I caught Jessie, groomed her, and while I was grooming her, Glory came over to bug us, and I tugged on her tail and she BACKED UP! So I tried it again, and she sort of backed up! She must have really been watching me playwith Jessie to figure this out! :-D So then I tacked her up English, and then went out front to play. She was good at the games I used to have her listen to me, so I got on from some steps, and we set off. She really wanted to munch today, the whole time I had to be prepared. So the whole ride was good except for the eating. We mostly walked, but trotted a little. I sure hope to go on longer trail rides soon. So after we got back I just rode around a little more, asking for more than I usually do like asking her to go sideways without a fence, etc. She got crabby with all that "Extra" I asked of her. So after that I got off, put her in, untacked, let her loose, and gave her a treat, then I was thinking it would be good to play with Glory.
So, I, rather she caught me, I haltered her, and then played with her without a CS. She was really good. Friendly was fine, porcupine was real light as well, driving was Ok, yo-yo was mostly at a phase 1, circling game I think the CS makes her get her energy up too much so its a good thing that I didn't have it with me, and she walked counter-clockwise around, and half walked, half trotted going clockwise. Her sideways was Good, and her squeeze was pretty good. So then I groomed her, and while I groomed her, Molly kept on bugging us to be groomed as well. Resting her muzzle on Glory's back giving me the "poor little o'l me, I'm so cute." look on her face, so I groomed her a bit too, then I tacked her up with the BP, and then got on from a stump, and she is really getting light when I ask her to go! I only had to go to phase 4 once or twice, and the rest of the time it was 1-2! :-D And then we worked on turning direct, and indirect reins, then backing, and then walking again. She was really good. Then I got off, untacked, put everything back, let her loose, gave her a treat, then went in.
Later on Molly and Jessie were grazing around the place, and I just watched them for awhile, then some hours later I took Molly back in, and A. took Jessie. Then I did chores, said goodnight, then went in.
Overall it was a Great day! :-D
