Today I did work with Navajo..I was hoping to ride even though I was a little hesitant:D:D But the ground was pretty hard..We are supposedly supposed to get tons of snow soon!!! Anyway, I did get on Navajo and he didn't walk off like at one point he might have:D HE just stood there..I was really happy..So I told him to walk forward a bit and he did.
Then I got off and got him to move his hindquarters and forequarters a little bit. Then I got him to lift (shake a hoof) when I tapped my crop against his leg..I usually used my hand but I want to see if I can get him to lift his hoof with as little contact as possible:) He picked up on that really quickly:)
Then I decided that I want him to walk beside me without my hands on the reins (I had his bridle on the whole time) and he did pretty good..we have to work at him turning with me but other than that he did really good...I am so happy at how far we have come!! He is such a gentle soul. He is one of the many good things that God has blessed me with this past year!!
Christmas is an awesome time..It is a time to remember Jesus's birth, to be with family and Friends and remember all the little things in life that God has given us!! And that includes our horses!! :D Everyone have a very Wonderful and blessed Merry Christmas!!!
