Yesterday's Ride

Yesterday I did get to ride..NOt to long because I had other things I needed to since it was Tuesday:D Anyway..he did get his hooves trimmed on Monday and he did awesome for the farrier..Then yesterday I wanted to ride him.

He listened very well..He went when I asked and did as I asked..The last couple times I had ridden him he didn't want to listen very well and I am thinking it was because his hooves were growing long:D:D SO now that his hooves are trimmed he is happier..and I am glad.

Well we rode down the strip and I asked for a trot and he did trot but kept wanting to go sideways..so I asked for a walk and then again for a trot..then he trotted straight:D:D BUt I am happy...We rode a bit in the field to check out the big round bales (he knew something was different in the field:D) and so we went out and he sniffed them..then we walked around a bit:)

Since I wanted to groom him and also work with him a bit once we got back we headed back.

He tried to run off with me on the way back but I got him stopped..I was not happy with him..So I made him back up and move his hind and forequarters:):) HE did awesome..I also got him to shake a leg:D HE did good with that too. Then I got him to walk beside me to go back to the barn..He does good most of the time but some days he can be a challenge:D Everyone have a great day!
