November 26, 2016


Shine continues to improve quickly. We went for a walk this week and he is getting to where he can walk up the steep hill right with me. He is so fun to work with! When we got to the top, there were four large stacks of hay quite over our heads. I led Shine around those columns of hay and he just followed me between and around them. He did try to eat them some. Heehee!
There was also a small X jump just sitting out in the open space, so we walked over to that. It came up to just below Shine’s kneecaps, but he didn’t halt the first time we went over it. We went over it a few times and he even jumped over it a few times.
He pushes off with his back legs, I love seeing that! I can see his power coming from back there, both when he’s running in the small pen and when he’s going over the jump.
