Saturday March 20th my good friend, Christy Hawes came out to ride and play with the horses. We both ended up playing in the roundpen with Easy. He had so much energy and he actually was bucking and running a bit! We got him following us all around, saddling, unsaddling,and saddling again! Leading, sending.... all the good stuff I have been working on got better! When we finished up and took him back to his 20X20 pen I got on him bareback and Christy lead him around. He became very relaxed after a while.
Sunday I took him back up to the roundpen and played more games with him! He was much calmer and just seemed ready to ride. So I climbed up on him for the first time in a saddle. Stepping up into the stirrup was the most stressful for him so I waited for him to relax before I went up into the saddle. He was great!! I clucked and directed him with the lead rope--dismounted--remounted and clucked him off in each direction. No trotting or cantering yet but this week will be a lot of fun!
