Annie Update II

Posted by Ali on November 29, 2009

Annie is doing much better. I worked with a trainer with her Friday, and we got her lunging, and that turned out to be the key when no round pen was available. Saturday I worked with her by myself, and she did great. I got her turning into me and stopping, changing directions and some [...]

A Rough Start With Annie…

Posted by Ali on November 25, 2009

I worked with Annie on Monday, and gave her Tuesday off, and worked with her again today. Annie is definitely a handful, and I was worried about this since she is about 6 and never had any real training, other than being lead. This is also why I asked to try her out before buying [...]

First Day With Annie

Cisco is sold!

That’s right, I parted with my first horse I’ve owned for 10 years. I’m definitely going to miss him, and there will never be another horse like him. He taught me everything I know, and I know that now he’ll go to teach someone else how to be a great rider! I sold him to [...]
