April 1, 2013


Seyvilla has been favoring his left front leg for a few weeks now, so I have not been able to ride her. I took a short video of her at the walk and trot so I could see the difference over a few days. She is getting better, but I think I will have to stay off her for a few more weeks. Like a human who pulls a muscle, I will have to slowly work back into exercising her. I have been walking her around every few days, but she basically needs rest.
On another note, Golden Charmer is improving every day! I have enjoyed working with him more since I can’t ride Seyvilla. I remember back a few months, when I was having trouble getting him to pick up the easy canter. Now he picks it up the first or second time I ask him. He is also good at listening to my leg cues now. Yeay! I am getting used to his canter gait too. It takes some getting used to because he is so much bigger than Seyvilla. I am pleased with how far he has come in the training process. Next step is to work him around the cows. He doesn’t mind the rope, so once I can get him to not mind the cows I will start roping from his back. Fun!
