The Beautiful Weaver!!

My bridle arrived today!! It got here earlier than expected too, I checked the tracking and it said it was already in town, so happy! I love horse.com, they are very efficient and of course have great prices. This bridle was everything that I hoped and I can't wait to try it out on the pony tomorrow. I have been wanting a nice bridle for almost forever and finally I have one, it is awesome. Hopefully I will never have to buy another one any time soon. Maybe the next thing can be a saddle!

Fresh out of the box!

Shiny silver!!!

All ready to go, just needs the reins.

Yesterday was Ava's day back to work, she had FOUR days off! I was so nervous going to work her after her big holiday, I totally thought she was going to be a crazy horse, but she wasn't. She worked hard and remembered almost everything I've taught her. Then after, one of the other boarders took Ava and I around the barn for a little trail ride, it was good for her to get out. It was a nice day, busy, just the way I like it.

Today worked some more. She was a little spooky because my BO was training a horse in the roundpen with a noisy bag which also freaked the other horse out too, so it kind of made Ava a little nervous. She ended up doing well though, she started to ignore the noise and the horse and started paying more attention to me. It ended up being progressive and it made me happy.

Oh yes, one more thing. I have started tying Ava in the cross-ties and she actually stands much better in them, don't know why but she seems MUCH more comfortable in the cross-ties rather than on the post, kind of weird but fine with me because cross-ties are definitely my preference.
