Well I sold my saddle tonight. The owners of the place where I keep Lucas bought it. Today was our one year anniversary of having Lucas in the barn, so I brought gingerbread cake to the barn this afternoon. So we were all having a piece when Lucas started dancing in the cross ties. Normally he doesn't like anything people related. Candy, cookies, mints he doesn't like. Well we gave him some crumbs which he ate up. Well then we gave him 1/2 a square. He loved it! And then he licked his lips and stretched on the cross ties towards us trying to get more. Hes so funny. Although he loves carrots and apples and horse cookies He's never been interested in anything else. So another new thing conquered!
But hes not spoiled!!! :)
I actually managed to do some serious riding this afternoon, did some transition work, figure 8's and some 2 tracking. No cantering yet, our indoor is small and we are in the process of fixing the footing so were playing it safe. I'm half thinking that I should be riding in my rowel spurs. Hes getting off my leg but not as well as I think he should be. Some of this is me, and both of us being out of shape. Also just rode him in the twisted wire this time, I wish that who ever ruined his mouth would never ride another horse. Hopefully I'll show it just it next summer after the first show or so. Hes still getting 'stuck' for the first couple of circles, I'm not sure if its me or him....
