Updates on Digger



CHANCESRIMAGOLDDIGGER 2006 APHA mare  $4000
Digger is being ridden 3-5 days a week since mid June at Bridle-Bit Training and tack-Eaton CO.
I ride her in "group lessons" every Tuesday and Thursday in the arena then on Saturday and Sundays in clinics or trail rides or in the arena some more.  She gets better everyday and still comes to greet me at the gate!
Digger is a very forward (yet not hot at all) mare--she gets bored and needs something to do/explore.  I think this is a great thing because she is eager and ready to learn--but she is not a horse you can take out of pasture after 2 days off and just mozzy around on in a boring arena.  She had ten days off and I was easily able to saddle her up and get right on her and put her right to work in the arena---she didn't need to be roundpenned or run around.  She was eager to walk out and keep busy--not eager to sit around and relax.  This is another reason why I think an intermediate to advanced rider is best for her.
We are working on her canter--she picks up her leads but is a bit lazy about keeping the canter going in the arena.  We are also working on hobbling-she is doing great in the arena and I will work on hobbling for longer periods of time.  Good stops, turns, backing up, giving to the bit, sidepassing, two-tracking, working on walking and trotting at different speeds and transitions.
