Saddle Day!!

My horse put his saddle on today, all buy himself! haha.  He only tried to kick at the cinch a few times, and then he was fine.  I lunged him with it on, and he walked and trotted with it on.  He did great!  I little champ!  He is doing so well!  Other things we accomplished today include:

1.  Picking up his front feet for "inspection"  :)
2.  Letting me brush his whole body, including hind quarters
3.  I braided his tail
4.  More space between him and I (especially while lunging)
5.  Side passing on the ground


And so much more  :)

Here is a little video of him walkin' with his saddle  :)

Training Day 4 and RODEO

Another good day of training.  And after we went out to the Clackamas County Rodeo.  Sat right by the barrel chute and watched hell fly! 
After, we got shmammered and nursed the sickness, but it didn't help. 

Here is a picture of my baby... Thought you might like to see.
