Spring weather is finally here! Today I introduced “Playboy” to a bridle today. He took a bit just fine. He does not play with it like I expected. After about 5 minutes he was flexing a giving to the bit very well. After a short arena workout we headed down the road and a nieghbor said the creek was running and the road to it was dried out. So we ran home and loaded up in the trailer. Off to the creek we went. “Playboy” didn’t even hessitate to walk in the water. I led him around it for a while then saddled him up. I forgot to bring a headstall so I had to use his halter. Good thing that is how I started him. We played in the water for about an hour or so then loaded up and headed home. He trailers like a champ and loads like a pro. Fun wet day.
