October 3rd Shortish ride in the round pen, probably 20-30 mins walk trot and working on yielding hind end :) He was very good! October 4th He was super good! Saddled him and got on
we did the barrel pattern as a warmup (trotting and then cantered back) Then we went over to the other arena and did some walk and trot, he wasnt quite understanding what I was asking him to do so I popped him in draws for literally half a lap and he was like ohhh gotcha lmao Took them off and he was great after. Hes lacking some muscle from being off so he cant stay in frame as long as he could before but hes trying very hard and being a good boy We also had a nice canter both ways! We did just one lap each way, and picked canter up from the walk and he was super good :) |

loped the barrel pattern on him yesterday :) had some nice flying lead changes! he was super good but he was begging to go faster lol we're both rusty at it though and hes still recovering so we're gonna do more loping practice before we actually run them he crossfired 3rd barrel but fixed himself very quickly i also want to spend 30-60 day working on his canter we're getting places with his hind end yields under saddle and moving his hind end seperately :) so yay! also did some nice fancy trotting |

November 5th(?) We went for a nice in hand walk on trail and he was super happy unfortunately he has injured himself somehow 🥲 its been such a rough couple few months, what with his front leg getting kicked, colicking twice, and now back leg injured again rip. Hes normally a very tough horse so this has been weird and stressful. Im going to have the vet out soon to check his leg hoping he'll heal up soon and we'll get back to working. Before he got injured though I rode him twice at the new place and he was super good. Rode in the round pen and around the property, and the next day rode in the big arena and popped over some tiny jumps and we had a blast. |

thankfully this ended up being nothing! I think he kicked something in his house or did something in his house lol horse moment. But within 2 days he was back to normal and happy. . My english saddle came and I've ridden in it a couple times, dont have my stirrup leathers yet even though I ordered them and everything except the leathers came 🥲 but we both like the saddle a lot! Hes been a very good boy and we've just been doing flatwork and some poles and walking around the property Super excited to be working on trail riding more with him because the trails are super good here! |
