Day 13--Holy Moley 85 days to competition!!

Today is 2 weeks from the day I picked up my mustang.  I am getting antsy again about the competition in 85 days--but just need to remember this is about helping the mustang and the Mustang Heritage Foundation!
Yesterday was another great day with Easy.  By time I got home from work the wind was hawling.  My good friend, Christy Hawes, came over to lend me a saddle that I could use on my pony horse (Strider). We walked Strider and Easy out to the roundpen.  I showed Christy what Easy can do and she gave me some helpful feedback.  Then I took him in the arena for the first time, I gave Easy to Christy so I could ride Strider in his new saddle.  I watched as Christy played games with Easy--they got along so well it almost made me jealous.  She pointed to random obstacles for Easy to put his nose on and he did so with each one perfectly!  She pointed him to a barrel--he put his nose on it and started rolling it around.  He really started having some fun with this!  We both froze out in the cold wind but Easy couldn't have been happier.
