Training Shine has been fun but challenging too. Right now I have reached another plateau in training, but I’m sure I’ll get past it soon. I still work full-time during the day at a desk job, so I only get to ride in the evenings and on weekends. Especially this time of year, it is pretty dark by the time I get out there after work, so it limits the time I can work Shine. We do have arena lights, but still if there are a lot of riders out and about it limits how much time I can train him each day. He has come a long way though.
Shine is going to be 3 years old in March 2019, but he already loads himself in the trailer, is getting used to the wash racks, and accepts me playing my trumpet and riding while a large American flag is waving behind him. He is a joy to work with and I feel more confident with my training ability each time I successfully get him trained with a new skill. Looking forward to the future!
