Week 4

Tuesday: At Sunnyluck Farms for three hours in the morning. Worked with Snack Pack a little bit, re-braided her, watched a client horse's first lesson having her head tied, then rode Denzel. He was super good and really soft.


Then went across the street to Laughing Buck Farm for 3 hours. Worked with B and the ponies (Ginger and Sassy) and then rode both Magic and Lady. Magic was pretty good, though still quite lurch-y and inconsistent. Lady had picked up the habit of dropping her shoulder and plowing into any leg pressure that you applied and she'd also been trying to rub people off on the fences, so I decided to put my spurs on with her and she was a completely different horse. It was like I had flipped a switch. She has a decent spin and when she attempted to scrape me off on the fence and I poked her with my spur, she straightened right up and didn't try it again.

Wednesday: At Sunnyluck Farms for 2 hours in the morning. Put the second official ride on Reagan (first 'ride' was just standing still) and she did really well! Was even a bit lazy. We got a few good minutes of walking and trotting and then called it a day because she did so well. Then Sabrina and I put Garcia's first halter on, he was also very good.
