"Whoa..."

"There are no garden tools in my barn, the word is 'woah!' not 'hoe'! "

Lol.. so, that was the quote of the day on saturday when I was trying out another horse. 'twas funny, and I really liked the horse, and then she came down $1000 on the price to $2500, so we're thinking about him. I want to go ride him again and have larry look at him, and its nice because, for once, this horse is local!! yay. Back to the quote, I tend to say "ho" when I'm riding a horse that does voice commands, and rocket listens to Whoa, and when I finally got that through my brain he stopped really really nice.

I had a good session with Mr. Okie last night. I played with more sideways without a fence, because he still wants to leak forward especially on the off side. Played with a little circling, which wasn't that great because he kept coming in, but thats not that bad, considering what he used to do, lol. Then i hopped on and worked a lot on him stopping with just my body and the savvy string around his neck. also, on following my focus. With that I actually got a couple pretty good trot to halt tranistions basically bridleless (obviously still had the halter with reins, we're not ready to be naked, lol)

Bad me.. no updates

Dedicating myself to writing some during school is hard!! lol..
ok, where to start..

So, on my last post, I said that I was going to have a session with Belle with the whole "go" thing.. In the end she threw a pissy tantrum, and by tantrum is was a "You're getting off NOW!!!" She moved about a foot during the whole thing, but it was rear, buck, rear, buck, buck, rear.. I lasted for about 8 seconds and then came off, and I'm glad because it was just getting worse.
We don't know what to do with her, and she's been sitting basically since. me and gma have both played with her a couple times since then, but not anything in the last couple of weeks.

We took a horse on trial, fell in love, then he didn't pass the vet check, RAWR, so back to searching. We're going to go look at a horse in Pasco this weekend, and hopefully that will work out.

Okie scared us by getting this GIANT lump on his stomach, we thought it could be pigeon fever, but its gone down, and as of tonight it was really no longer there.. weird horse.
I had a really good time with him tonight. He was FULL of it, and not having played with him in a couple weeks he was a little rusty, but not bad. Got some decent sideways without a fence, and had a blast just running around like idiots in the field (he did a lot of that, like I said, he was FULLLLLLLLLLx10 of it).
