Week 24

Tuesday: 3 hours at Sunnyluck Farms. Fed and cleaned stalls, and then rode my new leased horse, Buster. Then round penned DG and Hercules with their heads tied, and then rode Apple. Then spent 2 hours at Laughing Buck Farm. Worked with the ponies, and gave the little girl who is now leasing Clifford a lesson.

Buster 
Hercules learning to give to the bit. We do this with their heads tied with the reins so that it's a clear message that giving to the pressure of the bit releases it. It's much better than trying to teach it on their backs which would get VERY tiring.
Hercules giving to the bit nicely. Notice the slack in the rein.

Friday: Worked on my resume and references for an hour. I was sick Thursday and Friday so I did not get out to the barn.
