Aspen: Aspen has come a long way in the past week of colt starting class. She was the only one colt in class yesterday that was far enough along in her lunging and sacking out to move on to introducing to weight on her back. She stood well for me jumping and leaning across her back, and moved on to learning to stand by the mounting block. She was fine with my weight leaning full on across her back. We will be starting with a saddle in about a week and a half!
Rain: Rain is doing great with all the work we are doing in class. Being a horse that carries a lot of muscle she has been a little heavy with her shoulders. But the class work is helping with that, and helping her learn to correctly set her head. She seems to be enjoying the work!
Other: The equine judging team is going to a practice run at the AQHA regional show this weekend. This will give us some much needed practice on live judging before going to some of the bigger shows. It will also introduce us to some of the bigger trainers, riders, breeders, judges, and horses of the area.
