Sumtimes after lots of hard werk, its good to take a break and has playtime.
Yesterdays my partner and I has fun with no ropes. First tehre was ropes- teh long one. But i still has backing up with just teh finger wagging. Over a pole, between teh jumps- I has skillz backing up!
Circles and sideways too- i can do it all.
Teh best fun was when we took teh ropes off. My partner had a small jump set up and I LUV jumping! so we plays first to make sure we want to stick togethers, and then wooheee we jumps! Ok i jumps cuz i has teh longer legs. so much fun! she points teh finger and i take off- weee! Tehn teh other way!
Tehn we plays circling which is hard cuz teh arena is not a circle- but I knows what to do- and sometimes i take teh jump just for fun- other times i goe around for breaks.
We has lots of fun, and if my flavors weren't waitinf for mee in teh stall, I wuld've stayed longer jumpings.

Teh Hardest Werk Ever!
Hai! It has been so long since my last post. I has taken some time off posting cuz nothing new has happenings. I cannot has boring tendencies on my blogs- so I just dun't write anything.
Well, yesterdays I had teh hardest werk out ever. Feels good after, but really, it was so hard.
First reason it was hard: 2 other horses shared teh arena with me! Whatever, tihs gelding who has talls and fats needs his space. We has goings in different directions sumtimes and I swear tehy were aiming to crash into mees. How can a horse concentrate wiht all tihs stuff goings on?
And I guess teh second reason teh workout was hard was cuz i perhaps culd've paid more attentions and has more trust onto my partner. I realized by teh end all she was asking me to do was teh same stuff we've been doing all along. But seriouslies it didn't seem taht way with teh other horses in tehre.
I tolded her i culd not longe in teh arena wiht teh horses. Oh yes you can she says, try it. Ok I tries, but i bend teh wrong way to make shure tehy dun't crash or kick mee. No she says, bend teh right way. Hmm no, I tihnk its better to go faster and keep bending teh other way- or just not move at alls. Nope she says, not an option, GO FORWARD, don't care waht speed as long as yu go. Ok FINE but if a horse kicks mees, I is gonna has madness towards yu. Trust she says. I has so much fast cuz I just didn't believe i could make it 'round teh other horses. So we goes and goes and goes. So a little of taht and no horses crashed. So i finally slowes and do my works.
Ok so it turns out she has rightness and knowes we has space to do our job. I guess she can see teh ground better cuz she's shorter tehn me and is closer to it. From up heres, it looks like no room atalls.
She says i was making teh whole tihng much harder tehn it needed to be. And by teh time she helped me figure it out, I was definitelies sweaty cuz I has so much running. We has nice long cool out and practice walking in "Teh hand" as she says but wiht my head down down down, like i was gonna roll in teh dirt but kept walking instead. And wehn teh steam was off my backs we goes inside.
I feels so good after hasing hard werkouts- I shall be in tip top shapes in no time.

Bending Blues
I culdn't belieeve it when my partner showed up at teh barn today. Ew, it was raining and cold! But not for me cuz I has a waterproot 220gram high neck rug on. Oh but tehn I rememberd, we have teh arena wiht teh cover and teh fake suns. And latelies my partner spends time watering teh dirt in tehre..so far no grass is growing, teh suns aren't strong enough I guess.
Anyways, todays I get tacked up wiht teh saddle, which is a change cuz latelies I has been doing ground work. Whatever, no big deal. Tehn teh boots on, and tehn to teh arena. Warming up I showed my partner how much practice of streching and trotting all at once. My steps are still a little small, but I has stretches and it has good feeling.
Once warmed up, we do real stretches of teh legs, I has hard times stretching my hind legs. My partner laughs and says I need yoga. Is taht a flavor? If so I want it!!
A little more work on teh longe, and tehn we go for a ride. Apparentlies tehre is a lot of decisions to be made cuz I want to control teh bit and I want to control wehre we goes and teh speed. And apparentlies taht is not waht my partner had in mind. So todays I tried to ignore her leg until it was so damn annoying I just muved over already. and tehn teh other way. I didn't really like this at all, but muving to teh right from teh left leg was much better for me. teh other way has difficulties! I try to grab teh bit and run away, but taht doesn't work so well- but I still try every now and again.
Wahtever, we didn't even has speed. No trottings. Just tihs moving over stuff. Bending tihs way and taht, me trying to eat teh reins inbetween cuz I am hungry and wants flavors and don't really want to do much more of tihs.
Finally it was all over and I got my flavors afterall. Good ones too, but nothing new in teh bucket.

Getting teh Hang of It
I really don't want to admit tihs, but I tihnk my partner has rightness wehn she asked me to soften to teh bit. And maybee she has rightness wehn she says I shuld try to stretch wehn I trots. Waht I didn't knoe tehn is taht teh whole system helps me has better moves, which I definitelies want!
So the past cuple dayz we has been playing on teh longeing line and on teh ground, mostlie working on my manners wiht teh bridling process and making better moves trotting. My partner says I has to build more top of teh line muscles.
No matter how much ass-behavur I has, no matter waht I do taht may make sumeone mad or scared, my partner has no anger to me. I really don't get it. She just says "try again." She has no scaredness or madness about teh tinhgs I don't like and try to get away from. Wehn I see her not so scared and has focused look on teh job, I realize maybe I shuld has more focus too and perhaps maybee less ass-behavur.
She told me I worked hard yesterday. I tried my verry best. Like I has said before, I has no problem pleasing teh mares.

Bit o' Fun
Humph. Apparently teh idea behind my tooths getting a float was so I could start wearing a bit. Lets say teh first day I has bad feelings towards tihs idea. But my partner tells me I culd has so much softness and better talks wiht her if I gives it a try. Ok, so I tried to pull teh reins out of her hands, hahaha. I knowes I shuldn't do taht but I like to try to chew on teh reins.
She kept trying to change my mind and finally it worked, but I was pretty stubborn about keeping to my ideas. I guess it does feel better tihs way afteralls.
