O'Rion! =]

Well, today I had another brilliant lesson on O'Rion. He wasn't spooky at all, and I tacked him up easily. We got down to the arena, and he was perfect. We walked for a warm-up, and then trotted. [Quite a bit.] He's out of shape and chubby, so when we stop he's breathing so hard. The poor guy lol. We did lots and lots of circles. After a while, we CANTERED! Omg, I've been waiting for this for so long. His feet shuffle so quickly, it makes it seem like your going really fast, but your not. It isn't terribly smooth, but its not horribly bouncy either. His canter is going to take some major work, because he's lazy and wants to cut corners. So, I've definitely got my work cut out for me. But, I think Kris said its okay if I lease him. Of course, I'll need to talk to Barb, but hopefully everything works out! I got some pictures of him today. They don't do him justice at all, because of the bad lighting and small space to work with. I couldn't fit his entire body into one shot, so I took seperate conformation shots. Heres my moose!
