So...

My horsey day was GREAT. At around 6 me and Allison groomed the horses very thoroughly. Buck and Gus are both really nicely shed out on the front of their bodies, but their middle needs some serious work. lol. I cut Buck's mane. He spooked, which left half of his mane 4 inches long, and the other half 2 inches long. Dumb horse. Well I guess I should say dumb cat, its the one that spooked Buck by running around.

Anyways, have I mentioned how much I love my Gussers? He is just totally freaking awesome. Stands so nice, is so calm, everything. He picks up his feet so well. I ♥ senior horses!

So, I put on my bareback pad [which I hate because its dangerous and it stinks for some odd reason] and climbed on Gus. He was so good! Buck broke away from his tie [he's extremely herd bound] so I had to get off and put Buck up. He started freaking out, but Gus was okay because he had Cash. I TROTTED GUS. Yay!!! I thought I was going to fall out, because I'm so used to bumpy horses, but Gus's trot is so smooth. Its like sitting on a moving couch. Amazing. Gus did, however, get a little herd-boundy, but I brought his nose to my knee and made him go where I wanted to go. He caught on very quickly.

I don't know why, but it seems as if riding Gus is boosting my confidence. Which is so weird because Gus is the horse...Yeah. 'The Incident.'

Now, I haven't really given you guys a training update on Cash. So, here goes. That horse is a FREAKING PAIN IN THE REAR END. He's way to headstrong for his own good. He has to have his way about everything. Feet, moving over, walking on, he's just a butt head. Allison sure has her work cut out for her.

Cash does not understand the meaning of 'leg pressure means walk on.' That is proving to be a severe problem. Poor, poor Allison.

But, to end the post on a good note, my horses look great, and are gaining weight. My mom bought some alfalfa cubes today [which I will break up and soak before feeding] so that should help too. And, I'm going to continue riding Gus. Its so much fun. =]
