A Happy Day with the boy!

Upon my arrival at the barn my boy was way way out at the edge of the field munching! But of course. He wasn't too eager to join me so I lingered. I relaxed with my cup of coffee and just hung out! It was a beautiful day after all! Then a few of the herd approched to see what I was about. Then of course Mr. Curiosity had to see what everyone was checking out. He was funny.

Soon he wanted to be with me so we strolled up the pasture and hung somemore! He munched I sipped and enjoyed the early afternoon. It is easy just to relax with Jiggies.

After much munching, we enjoyed some games. We ran up and down the rocky path leading to the arena. Then he got a brush and a hoof clean. It will be a few weeks before he can have a trim and he really needs one. We played somemore then practiced his jump over the big tree stump! After only a few attempts he did a pretty good jump. I was elated so we stopped and he munched more. Shocking isn't it! :-)

He was actually quite LB until he seen the cows roaming around the farm loose. Then a bit of Rt came in but not much he was more curious. I ran into a couple of friends later and they were going to walk around the trail around the parrimeter of the farm. Jiggies has never done this. They encouraged me to come along. We did!! Jigs was in heaven! We walked then stopped a bit and he munched on 2 foot grasses. He was doing the Jig! NO pun! Hee Hee...I wish I had my camera with me, he really did exceptional. All four of the horses just munched and walked the trail. We even came across a farm bridge (big enough for a cutting tractor to go over the little creek) and did a bit of aproch retreat. Being that it was a totally new environment I didn't want to push him too much. He did well. Didn't quite go on it but muched along the bridge. That was cool.

All in all it was a wonderful day and I was pooped as I am sure he was as well. We were out playing for 5 hours!!!! Time does fly when you're having fun and we did. I love you buddy! See you when I get back!

What a great weekend!

I spent the whole day spring cleaning and am no where near done. I moved at what I thought was lightning speed then I noticed it was 4pm!!! I had to hurry to go see my boy! What a beautiful day. I quick got my items I needed from the dollar store, my coffee and zipped out to see Jiggies! I picked up some plastic cones so we could practice the figure 8.

He was in the adjoining pasture that was opened up this weekend. Loads of fresh green! We came in and played a bit he was sluggish. Probably because it was 7:45p! Poor guy. We played the figure 8 and touch it. Ran a few circles then just hung out. Loved his goodies and came out for a short walk. I noticed there is a chunk out of the bottom of his front L hoof! Darn it! I filed it a bit and sanded. I will send to Mike for his recommondation.

I decided to try a bit of liberty to put him back to the pasture and he did great! I miss him already. I could hear the cyotes already. Jeez the first great evening. Even the dang Mosquats are out...See you later buddy. I love you much.

It's a gorgous May weekend!

What fun Jiggies and I had Saturday! We had a short lesson and a long play! He was quite RBI as we played but then the wind started up and he became his old LBE self It was alot of fun. He did great on the falling leaf! Very muddy but otherwise he is looking good. No scratches and the hooves are awesome.
