Dante got the day off, he was so good yesterday.

Got two hay bales now and the crew will keep an extra eye on him while am gone for 1-2 days.

Got a good bath today =)

Parelli Center

Nice weather in the morning started to rain before we pulled out from the center. Dante did great! Loaded nice into the trailer and was so cool and calm at the play ground. We played on line and went around everywhere! He got very supriced when Highland came galopping loos in the play ground! Watched him for a little while. 

We played some with the bit from the ground and rode in a halter. Cantered around and jumped a sall logg. He was super! 

Coffee so important ;)

Curious what Fabian are drinking 

Dante is helping Fabian =)

Dante is a superstar! We are trotting and cantering around the property. We have just started with the bit. Just done some ground work and had it on while we have done freestyle riding.

On our way! =))

Tired boy,

4 riders went on a trail ride outside the farm. 

Went good! Loaded up perfect! Dante followed Brendas horse Deigo and we did some "nose to tail".

Canter today!

Trotted follow the rail in the arena. Little boy did great! Asked for canter and it was no big deal. Cantered a few steps and stopped and got a cookie.

8 Feb

Saddle on and trotting around the playground just the two of us.

Started on line and checked out what mood we were in, a bit windy but Dante was fine. Pocco was playing with Fabian in the round coral so we walked down to them after I mounted. Started to ride Lollipop- like point to point to the trees but you do a circle around each one. Good for our focus and when it felt good we stopped and took a cookie. Did some transitions from walk to trott around the outside of the round coral. Went great!

A lot of stuff going on at the ranch today! People have been building Laurens ramp and working some on the barn. Lot of noise! but Dante didnt seem to mind =) 

We got front feet in the water obstacle today, yay! went for a trail ride on the property with Maggie, trotted a few steps too. 

6 Feb

Played some on the play ground. Did some travelling circles and some sideways and sneaky bends in the circling game. We also played some with the pad on before I got on. Started with some rein positions. Walked figure 8 pattern and steering with rein and stick. 

Got a new pasture friend, Pocco they seem to get along well =))

First day without mummy!

Did a lot of grassing and checked out the facility, walked up by the driveway to see all the horses. Went to the round coral and did just small things. In direct, direct and some walking. Short and sweet =)
