Big news!

Zoey had her first and second rides...she was a rockstar! The first ride was very simple; she was on a rope and got led around for most of it. The second ride involved some trotting. No leaping through the air, no squealing, and no acting like an idiot. I was so proud! I was very optimistic that the first few rides would go like that but observe the following picture:

 

 

 

Do you see why I was a little concerned about being wrong??? Wild thing is quite athletic. I love this mare's attitude though. She is such a bold thing. Nothing scares her and, I think if we go slowly and do not make her dislike work under saddle, that is going to translate into a fantastic fence horse! Plus, she is just so cute.

 

 

 

Other than that, things have been pretty mellow around here. Blake got gelded a few weeks ago-poor lil guy! He recovered really well from it and is bouncing around with his baby buddies enjoying the easy life and brisk winter weather.
