weeks 9 and 10

Time has really flown by!  Easy and I have been progressing daily!  Riding everyday and practicing for the competition.
Sunday May 9th we went to Mt.Margrett with my friend Christy and about 8 others.  We mostly trotted and cantered this 4 hour ride!  Went thru water, mud, hikers and loose dogs the size of a big bear! All but the later were okay for Easy, i decided to get off and walk him past the big scary barking dog!  Easy may be the perfect horse for endurance--he loved moving out the whole ride and didn't even break a sweat!  Not bad for his 31st time under saddle!!
Thursday May 13 my farrier Rick Binger came out to trim the horses--I brought Easy back to my place for this.  Afterwords I rode Easy and Mike rode Beauty out at "marys place" for a nice 2 hour trail ride.
It was a beautiful ride with rolling hills to climb, deer and antellope, water crossings, and zig zagging through trees and brush.  Easy loves this stuff and is all go still! 
Today is Friday the 14th and we rode at Amy LeSatz Bridle Bit training and tack llc..
It was a group lesson with 6 other riders and fresh cattle that were just picked up yesterday!!
Easy and I worked the gates and went out to round up the cows to the arena, then in groups of three we had to coordinate working a small group of cattle through obstacles in the arena!  It was really fun!
Sorry no new pics or video=(  Maybe I can get some this weekend?
