Well... Wow. We picked her up in early September and trailered her home without incident. She loads slowly and tentatively, but she does okay.
She has a round pen now (Craig's List FTW!).
Here's just a run-down of what she's learned so far:
- She can lead by her front feet (I put a rope on each foot and lead her around).
- She picks up her feet and stands nice for the farrier.
- I've ridden her about a dozen times
- She ground ties for everything -- saddling, brushing, getting her feet cleaned, etc.
- She loads in the trailer pretty well.
- You can swing and throw a rope off of her
- She can back up in any direction
She's now learning to take a bow, just for fun.
She had her wolf-teeth taken out Wednesday and had her scratches treated by the vet. She's now on antibiotics 2x daily and some goop on her pastern daily.
This weekend she gets introduced to the snaffle and hopefully some riding outside the round pen.
We have a clinic we're going to at the end of the month, so we're getting ready for that. Can't wait!!
