I rode Scotch!

Yesterday I rode Scotch for the first time and I couldn't have been happier! He was so willing, no buck even when I asked him for a trot! (I can't canter until Monday because of my stitches.) His head set was just a bit above where I'd like it to be to show him, but his movement was just awesome... I rode him again today and it was getting ready to storm with a bunch of wind and dust, a little sprinkle and he never even flinched. He is really just doing awesome and I'm riding him everyday now.

Oh, some other good news! I'm getting a horse in for training this weekend for 30 days! Yay! It will really help me out with the feed bill for the next two months...

yay! congrats, i'm glad he's doing well I miss having all the horses to ride now i have none...

Congratulations on the first ride! It is nice when all goes well, that is why I like to train my own. Even though it may take me longer as I don't seem to have enough time!

Thanks guys, I was really excited about him because I know he's going to beat some booty in western pleasure and his mind set has just been phenomenal. We're going to geld him coming up here pretty quick. If his under saddle training keeps going this smoothly, it looks like his first show will be at the end of september. Oh, I found out he likes smarties too lol, ya know? the little sour candies? lol. He crinkles his nose so funny.

WHERE ARE THE PICS...

I was going to get some tonight but it got way to stormy out to ride, call me a chicken but I don't like lightening lol. I will hopefully get some video tomorrow (I finally got high speed lol) and post it for you guys. Just a forewarning though, the poor guy is still way skiny compared to what he normally is...

Oh, Bluejay, congrats on the buckskin mare, I was so happy to hear she is doing so well! I bet you're just proud as can be. I sure wish things would have worked out, but I'm super happy for your friend!

I stay in the house when the lightening starts..

SB, That mare is doing much better then I thought. Because, the gal who has her does not have money. So, just the few local shows she goes to and accomplishing what she has is amazing. I am very proud of them.

This gal is living her dream and doing exactly what she wanted to do with this mare. There are not many people who can say that. There are people who even haul out when they see her coming in.. And, she does it all. Nothing to enhance what she is doing and takes care of the horse. That's they way it should be..
