A Fun Start

First I want to say I LOVE YOU CHRIS COX AND RICK GORE! Okay, now that I have that out of my system I will get on with my post.

Ava and I had a fun and relaxing week. All thanks to Chris Cox and Rick Gore for helping me train myself to become a better horsewoman. Ava went from a bucking unfocused maniac to a calm little pony I can ride out of an arena alone.

The weather was amazing all week long and gave lots of opportunities to go and do stuff. We first started with only ground work but then moved to riding. Yesterday we stayed out of the round pen and fooled around for a bit. I started with groundwork in their pen then right outside their pen then worked on liberty in the arena and finally rode in the open fields and investigated the scary objects at the back of the them. It was a blast and I hope we can do it again and soon. Ava was responding well to my cues and didn't over exaggerate either (which she usually does,) you would've thought she was a ten year old dead broke horse instead of a six year old green broke one, it was great!


Just two pictures before we went on our ride, look how calm she is! What a good girl!


Thanks for reading!
