She is a good girl and really enjoys working and learning new stuff and that makes me really happy. Nothing is worse than a horse that hates working or hates their job. It makes your life and their life miserable.
This was my first time laying over his back.
So one of the things she really needed work on was desensitizing to all sorts of things. Dogs, kids, cars, bikes, balls. You name it. The cool thing was this barn was a family barn and the owners have 4 young children so there is always something happening.
One particularly good day one of the owners kiddos was down at the barn and wanted to groom the "baby oonicorn" (Baby Unicorn=Halo). So I let her go ahead and brush her, Halo was very unsure but super well behaved.
Brushing the baby oonicorn (she says it OOH nicorn lol).
We also worked on seeing new things. So the farm has a beef cow herd and they milk the mommas too, so the calves get bottle fed half formula/half milk which means they have to be in stalls. So Halo was very intrigued by this and had to stop and investigate.
Why, hello tiny, weird horse.
We also started working on getting pads, girths, bridles etc on. She seemed to really enjoy all the new stuff I was throwing at her, as evidenced by this photo:)
So my mom got me some new accessories--what do you think? I think they are fun to wear, and I look very fashionable!
And a few photos of her with her pulled mane following Nationals. I love love her with a pulled mane. :)
Because cute.
