Sunday!

Today I groomed both horses. Beauty looks so nice and soft now =) I got my mom to hold her while I cleaned her hooves. Same story as before that she is fine with her two hooves and then her hind left and front right ones are the ones she acts dumb with. By the time I was done with her she figured out that the nonsense she tries to throw at me doesn't work. Once I was done with that I decided for the fun of it that I wanted my mom to lead me around with me on Beauty's back. Beauty did well with this but you got to consider that my cousins have been riding her (with someone leading of course) somewhat since they got her in June. So she knew what I am doing. She doesn't really know anything about what a bit or leg cues mean but I figured it is a good idea for her to get used to my weight.
I then got Navajo and groomed him. I rode him for about 20 minutes along the strip. We did some cantering and trotting. It was fun just riding for the fun of it. He is a much better horse as far as willingness and listening to my cues. I am very pleased with him. Also he does really well with trotting down the strip. He doesn't even balk anymore! That has me very happy. So overall it was a wonderful end to my Sunday =)
