Like my posting, my horsemanship has been spastic. Except...maybe not quite as scattered! ha.
All the ponies are doing well. Tucker hurt his leg, but it didn't seem to effect him much. He had a couple of days off, and is healing nicely. He has been backing great up and down hills, over logs, and even off the back porch(don't worry, not as dangerous of a situation as it sounds)! I think he'll load quite comfortably soon. We also began backing by the tail! Such a swell guy who puts in his whole heart when you put in yours.
Rascal is also plugging along. We can always find something new and scary, but the basics are coming easier for him to deal with. I run over them in and extremely friendly way until it's normal, like: dropping brushes while grooming, picking up all feet from one side, lateral flexion from the ground(both ways from one side while leaning over his back), cinching simulations, yoyo, circling, and squeeze. Feels good to make a list, really reminds me how he arrived almost a year ago, a snorting prancing deer I could hardly catch!
Looks like a Parelli tour stop is scheduled for Aug. of next year! Yippee Skippy! I'm stoked. Until next time, I'm out riding and playing to my little hearts content and a little more! ha, Savvy On.
