An early morning, a late night...

Hy horse is beginning to bookend my day... which is good. It keeps me happy.  This morning, he was a good boy and moved off of pressure like a champ, and when I went back to work with him again after having worked the mares in rickreall, he let me put his saddle on and didn't move a muscle.  He has come such a long way! 

But...

He is still so wild and free...  If I don't take extra care to keep him grounded, level headed, and feeling safe, he has a tendency to spook.  Walking him back to his pasture in the moonlight a bat flew by and floored him.  Haunch turns haunch turns haunch turns... and he finally settled down.  If I wasn't so dang stubborn this horse would probably scare the crap out of me! 

Bring it on.

This weekend Ill be trailering him out to a clinic to work on ground driving.  He is too big for me to tackle that alone with no supervision, so the ranch in rickreall is the perfect place... maybe someone there will know CPR??  haha.
