The Trouble Makers...

Fed ponies, cleaned pens, and then got going with the interesting part of the day...Rode Zena first. who thought that it would be best to act as though she had ABSOLUTELY NO TRAINING!!!! GAH!!!! bottom munch(just for you GK). We worked on lunging at first...she simply did not want to go the direction I wanted her to go. and once on her we worked on going forward some more. and I worked on holding my outside rein (it needs a lot of work) and also looking up (nasty habit that I have yet to break, but I am sure I shall break here). also worked on transitions that were forward to the bit, both up and down. I then rode the Arab, yes Kelsey an Arab, and I love him. one problem...he accentuates my bad riding habits and makes them VERY obvious. sigh. no more faking loud. but he was fun. and I am pretty sure that it is official that Zena is the smallest "Horse" on the property. sigh. there are ponies so she definitely not the smallest equine though:) YAY!!!! lol the third and final horse that I rode today was the 4th level dressage horse, who has a "me" complex and was having a VERY bad day, apparently yesterday was bad too. today's ride was nothing but a temper tantrum with him. I finally picked one thing that I wanted him to do and do well, that I knew he could do and once he did it, we ended our ride, because it became very un-fun very quickly. I did some more stuff with stalls and the its started POURING...so we had to bring in all the horses and of course, one of them got loose. ugh. she went ripping around for quite some time until finally trotting into an open pen with out realizing it:P haha sucker. met 2 of the girls that work for Karen during the summer, they are FUNNY!!! they are going Galway with Karen next week so they are here preparing for that for the next week. and then I am in charge of the place until they get back. oh gosh. that should be fun. ok that's all for today. Goodnight all!
