Week 8

Tuesday April 27 was Easy's 20th ride and we trailered out to Pawnee Grasslands with Amy and 4 other riders.  I pointed Easy to the wide open and he walked out and passed everyone else, Just as Amy hollard at me to let him go if he needs to go, he started trotting towards the trail heading up the hill, then he picked up the lope and away we went!! I stopped him at the top of the hill and waited on the group.  Easy was so much fun to trail ride! He was forward and happy and completely under control the whole ride!  What a nice ride he is!
We did a lot of boring arena work the rest of the week, he improves everyday.  We are at the stage where I need to learn how to finish him for the competition, so we are learning this together!  I have never competed in any of these events, (reining, cow work, and trail) although I have been through several trail courses in my day. 
Sunday May 2 we went to the Spring Fling Horse show at CSU (where the EMM competition will be)  Easy had no problem being in the arenas or standing at the trailer!  I took him in the halter geldings and showmanship class for the exposure, we placed last in each one but expected that since we haven't worked on any of that stuff.
I also entered him in Walk Trot Novice horse and we got first place! yeah!  He was spectacularly wonderfully behaved!
Then we went through the novice trail course and got first as well!! woohoo!  the judge commented that Easy was a very handy horse!!!  click on pics to enlarge

Look how shiney he is! He has not had a bath! This is all from his nutrition! ADM/moorman feeds moorglo and healthyglo and mineral block provided by Amy and Steve LeSatz at Bridle-Bit Training and Tack!! Give them a call and get your horse some of what he is missing!
