So I completely forgot to update yall, but im back with a year-in report :D
I mayyyy have set pretty ambitious goals for a year, and while I havent sat on jazz yet, he is SO much more confident on the ground and with things above him! Not 20 minutes ago I was standing on the edge of his feeder with one leg over his back(my knee reached to his spine without any reaction so my boot was resting firmly on his side lol) and a teensy bit of weight on him without him so much as raising his head 😎 we've also been doing some groundwork and little bit of liberty here and there (hes terribly clingy lmao he doesnt want to leave my side xD)
Considering he will be 24 this April (holy shit) and is very out of shape, I will be happy to be able to sit on him bareback and walk around the paddock.
New year, new goals, so here's to hopefully making jazz into a nice little trail pony 😁
