We
are back from Oklahoma with our new mustang, or
as I like to call him "Ricky Bobby" He
is a 3 year old bay gelding with a blaze. He is
a pretty calm horse. Didn't play alot with him since
it was almost dark by the time we got home. I did
however get his neck tag off and teach him to lead
a little. Can't wait till tomarrow. Buddy is not
happy about the new horse. Hopefully he doesn't
take it out on me later.
Saturday, June
14th
First
official day of training for "RickyBobby".
We worked on leading and desensitizing. He also
let me pick up his front feet. Oh yeah, he also
let me put a saddle on him. Not cinched up of course.
He also likes to pose for the camera, and wear my
hat.

Day
2 for RickyBobby and I would have to say he is doing
really well. He let me saddle him today. He didn't
get too excited about it . He didn't even buck.
He takes things in stride. He let me get on and
ride him around the round pen. I didn't teach him
much under saddle, I figured he could go wherever
he wanted as long as he wasn't bucking. GOOD DAY.

I
have been busy busy busy, haven't taken pictures
in a long time. Just been riding Ricky Bobby and
Buddy everyday. Just working through some things
with Buddy and teaching Ricky Bobby some new stuff.
Today was bridge day. Ricky Bobby didn't take to
it as fast as Buddy but we got it done. I was so
tired after word I layed down to take a nap but
Ricky Bobby wouldn't let me.

Ricky
Bobby was introduced to the tarp today. He really
handled it well. we also worked on picking up his
feet. He isn't scared of me handling his feet so
the chore is standing still. I also introduced Ricky
to the barrels. Piece of cake he likes to jump almost
as much as Buddy. Buddy couldn't let Ricky hog all
the camera time so he would run by us whenever I
was teaching Ricky something new. What a fun evening.
Wednesday,
June 25th
What
a nice evening. Buddy has an abscess in his hoof
so it was all about Ricky Bobby today. He stood
great while I saddled him. He stood great while
I got on him. He was nice and relaxed today. We
worked on his reining today. I can almost ride him
in one hand with a halter. Who says you cant teach
a horse to neck rein in a halter. He is doing great.
After our ride we learned to stand on the pedestal.
Buddy got a little jealous and squeezed in between
us. He bullied Ricky off the pedestal and got up
their himself. What a goofball.
