OMG Felipe fixed the fence...which means i can refocus energy on my horses.
Which means Cabo gets ridden. Today he got to try on his english saddle. So. Freaking.Cute.
Was very important as this saddle is treed, and i wanted to see how he'd react to a stiff saddle, albeit well fitting. Turns out he's fine... well he was today anyway! Free longed like a champ. Got nervous when the irons loosened and started bopping him on the sides- whatever, he got over it. His version of nervous is tucking his bum and going a little faster. Heheh so cute.
After awhile I got on, and even with my weight, he just ambled around with me on his back. No issues at all.
I am excited to begin real work. I uhm, need a different girth though... My 50" is way too long, and my 42" too small. So i guess i'll be picking one up at some point.
i also have to find someone with body clippers who might be willing to give the boy a greater clip. My clippers simply dont have enough juice to do the job, and the boy needs at least a trace clip. even after our short session today, even with his bib clip, he was a hot, sweaty, smelly mess. Yuck.
Anyone willing to clip an awfully cute little morgan?
