Accomplished!!

GOOD day!! I am very happy!! Started the day off by going to visit a good friend of mine that I hardly get to see anymore!! Rode with her and got my late birthday present!! It's an awesome jacket with my horsey on the back!!!

Then went out to ride Opie...decided to spice things up, so I rode him english outside. He did awesome!! He actually had extension!! For those of you who know my horse, you know that is HUGE!!! He is such a slow-legged western pleasure horse. I was very happy with the new bridle I bought him, too. He had such a consistent headset, even at the canter. I also tried on an old show sheet and sleazy I had and they BOTH fit him!! He looks awesome in his show get-up!!

Then I rode Captain, a QH gelding. He moves so different from Opie...he's got a lot of action for a western horse, but in my opinion he would be a great cow horse!! And he's for sale if anyone you know is interested. And he is FAST!!! 80% of the ride was getting out all of his energy...it was awesome to let him go full speed in the outdoor. I dont get to go fast with Opie...and I miss it. He did really well!! Worked on flexion and softening of the mouth. 

Was gonna ride my trainers horse, Big D....brought him in and he had a huge gash on his back leg..it was swollen and pussing...so I treated it and he's out of comission for a good week. :( Bummer...

Now for the big news...I have a small 3yr old POA that was given to me to train and sell, blah blah blah. Anyways, after doing lots and lots of ground work, I got on him for the first time today. I was SO proud!! He is quite a handful, but coming along so nicely. He will make some kid a nice show horse...perfect size.

Hope everyone had a great day!!! I did!!
