Summer 2012 Achievements

Okie dokey here is a list of our accomplishments during the summer, lets see what we have done!

•99% of the time I rode her every time I went out there. Big step!

•Overcame her bucking debacle, no more sore butts for me! She used to buck with me on her, basically her saying "get the frick off me," she hasn't tried anything for a long time now.

•Stands in the cross ties.

•Rides in a snaffle bit (no longer bitless!) and very soon we are moving to a mild curb.

•I actually found out how talented and athletic she is throughout the summer.

•Cows are becoming less and less of a problem.

•Cantering is absolutely no problem anymore. I used to be scared to death of her cantering her.

•Leads are almost no problem.

•Accomplished flying lead changes but still need to work on them.

•We worked the cutting flag for the first time.

•Other horses can ride around her (closely too) with almost no problem.

•We went out in the fields for the first time, such a great ride!

Hmm, what else?...

For now that is all I can think of, still a great list! I am so proud of her. The only thing that needs to see some major improvement on is catching, she will completely walk away from me from I go to bring her in. So, we will work on that some more. But otherwise her training went sky rocketing from the first time we got here at The Ranch. Great way to end the summer.
