Good Times
Went for another ride today and Blue was yet again perfect! We did our pre-ride checklist and he passed everything with flying colors so we set out on the trail again. He was moving forward easily, rounding pretty much the second my butt was in the saddle, so light and responsive. I would think something and he would do it! Just a perfect boy!!
We even did some jogging – hard to believe that my ex-race horse (okay so he never really made it to the races but he was bred and trained to move like hell!) can carry himself in a nice western jog. Granted we wouldn’t be winning any western pleasure classes anytime soon but he was slow and responsive. We even did some loping, we were moving as one, it felt like we were just flying over the ground smooth as could be!
We met a truck on the trail, the slowed down and Blue didn’t even balk at it, we just kept going, we even trotted through a few puddles which is a big thing for him seeing as puddles are Blue’s worst nightmare. He is slowly getting better with going through them, and will go through them if I’m on the ground leading him, but it is almost like he doesn’t like to get his feet dirty. What a silly horse.
Another wicked ride and awesome time with Blue!
