Proud Mama!!

Well hello world! As (I think) I said, our training horses went home. So today I went to work to see her, and work ponies. Also, my friend went with me because she is gonna take over my job, since I'm leaving. But anyways, I rode my girly, and she did well. Except she did her buck thing going into the canter, and the saddle was apparently super loose from her bloating, and the saddle kinda...well, fell off the the side, and me with it. So I ate some major dirt today. Then I hopped on her bareback and tried again, and it went much better. So it was all good. She doesn't buck bareback, its great. haha.
But the best part was when my boss, my training horse's owner, rode her for the first time!!! We threw the western saddle on her, and she climbed aboard. They walked around, and I taught her how to ask Mare to do haunch and forehand turns, as well as two-tracking and backing up! She did awesome! Got some very beautiful two-tracking, thats for sure! My owner was very happy with her, and said she was super soft! YAY! I am a proud, proud mama right now! I'm so happy that she liked my little booger mare...err.... HER booger mare. Haha. Next time I want to try and get them trotting. I wish I'd been able to take a picture but I forgot my phone at home.
In other news, I gave Gypsy a bath today... I rode her around a little bit bareback. I am trying to teach her to still be soft and give her head when we aren't on the wall. She is kind of rail-dependant. And I found a schooling dressage show I want to take her to in the next month or so, so we need to fix that. She got a little better at crossing the arena on the diagonal, and trotting down the middle long-ways. Then she got her bath, and got to be super pretty and clean! And of course, me being the picture-happy weirdo I am, took lots of pictures of her cleanness!



Umm...yeah that picture is sideways. Picasa is being retarded and won't save it if I edit it to be right-side-up. So just turn your head. ....
