Todays blog is in part copy and pasted from the Spanish Mustang Focus board where Pam and I have been keeping our CS peeps up to date on the fun here.
The last five days we've been playing musical horses
I'm sure the townsfolken by now must be wondering what the daily parade of horses is all about! It's pretty funny actually how many combinations of horses we've had at Herr Kohlers and here at the house! Pam is right, even Autumn walked boldly where no filly had walked before!!!Biggest thrill for me today was seeing Jack cantering on StarB (while on a long line). Not just hanging on kind of cantering, but really looking good. StarB was great. It's the steering we've got to work on in the next few days so he can ride him confidently wherever he needs to go. Jack did ride him back to the house from the arena which is a five minute walk away. That was a big step, too.
I've sure learned a lot from this trip about how to get green horses and their humans working towards their goals in less than two weeks! Not reaching their goals necessarily, but working towards reaching them.
