Bartow Arena

I took Jesse and Jade over to the Bartow arena for a birthday party..  Buddy wasn't able to go so I took Jesse,  even though he is 30 he did great he didn't act 30.  I took Jade so she can get used to everything now and not when I first ride her.  We had a great time,  I met a few friends and did barrels on my 30 yr old mustang/Quarter Horse.  He did win anything but he tryed his heart out for me....  we did egg races it was awesome, I didn't win that because Jesse has sush a bumpy trot, we did barrel games,  we rode My friend Cherie's wild pony that was fun.  We did this game where me,Cherie, and Jessica had to hold toilet paper and ride and not drop/break it.  we did really good until we had to back up and Cherie's horse Levi decided he didn't like the toilet paper lol it was sooo much fun....  had a great time got there at 3 didn't leave till 9:30... wow what fun.

Played with Jesse and Jade

Hey today went pretty good with Jesse and Jade...  I played with Jesse online and some at liberty..  On-line we did circling at a walk that's Jesse's favorite with him being a LBI..   But I dropped my 22' line and he did circles, (Kinda close to me).  So then I did some sideways trying to get him to get out and away from me going sideways.  Lets see then I played stick to me at Liberty, doing walk, trot, stop, back up transitions.  then I tryed to get him to bow but I don't know if I will ever get him there,  with him being 30.  He has a nice body to be 30 yrs old, but I'm not sure is he ever will bow or lay down for me...  Other then that everything went really well.

Now with Jade.  we did HQ driving,  and circling she did really well,  she even offered a walk when I sent her into it.  then I asked for a walk,trot,walk,trot,canter,trot and she did really well the I asked her to walk again and that was when she was like I don't know if I can I'm ganna trot with my head up and go right brain so I started doing pattern interruption, and she went back to LB.  so then I put the bareback pad on here for the second time, I cinched it up nise and snug and sent her into a circle,  she trotted then I asked her to canter, I then asked her to walk and she did it wasn't a very good transition but she did it...  So in my last post I said I tied the bare back pad to her head well today I sat it on top of her ears/head and she just sat there like NO BIGGIE.  I was sooo happy....  So I wet her down (she was really sweaty) and put her up..


Now I'm about to go feed everybody,  I will keep yall up dated,  if I can ever get this thing to link up so people can see it..

Boy was the day with the baby tuff


I played with Jade my 1 yr old paint baby filly..  we are doing a lot of desensitizing and we are learning the 7 games.  she is LBE/RBI/RBE now that is something to play with.  she pops back and forth all the time...  so I took my bare back pad on her, I rubbed her all over, then I strapped it to here and sent her in a circle, I was waiting for her to buck but NO!!! she didn't she trotted which she loves to do her next favorite is cantering so I asked her to do that she did, then I asked her to walk now that's a hard one but she walked...  So then I was rubbing it all over her and I decided to rub it over her head well she didn't like that so I played approach and retreat..  When I thought she was ready I took and strapped it to her head to where she could see our of her right eye but her left eye was covered by the pad, her ears and everything was covered...  She out smarted me a few times and got it off BUT I DID IT!!! I got it on and it stayed on.  I asked her to circle and she didn't like that very much but she finely calmed down and went left brain and walked in a circle both ways..  I took it off and it fell to the ground, then she smelled it and licked her lips then she started PAWING IT!! that's the curious baby coming out.. LOL.  I love her soo much she's great.  So to finish I took her and rinsed her from toe to head.  hehe. That had to feel good.  I will keep you up dated.
