WOW, what a day.  I started off the day working with “Playboys” front feet.  After about 30 minutes I was able pick out both front hooves.  I got on the phone and called my farrier, Troy Bell.  He was busy but made the time anyway to come over.  “Playboy” stood like a champ while troy trimmed both feet.  He looks so much better.  He probably feels alot better as well.  I am so proud of him.  And I can’t thank Troy enough for comming over on such short notice.

Next I introduced”‘Playboy” to a saddle blanket and saddle.  He did amazing.  He bucked a bit but calmed down really fast.  He wore the saddle for about an hour or so.  I was able to step up in the stirrup and pet him on the off side within minutes.  I decided to call it quits after that, I don’t want to over do it with him this early in his training.
