+2 Training!

A friend of mine from the barn found us 2 horses that need to be trained.

The one I'm training is a 4-year-old AQH Palomino filly they call "Goldie." My friend is going to train the 1-month-younger half sister to Goldie, who they call "Two-Tone" (a dunskin) The fellow told me that Goldie's name is actually "Mayflower somethingorother," and changed her barn name to 'Goldie' because he thought 'Mayflower' was stupid. HA.

Other than that I've been working my nearly-obese Creampuff in the round pen, doing walk/trot exercises to get her tone up and fat tissue down. So far, so good. Soon I need to take her on the trail before she gets barn sour again. :/ I need to be the one to take her, though. The last time she was out was with a customer; she barn soured (she reared up and turned around, trying to come back). The girls who put the customer on her knows how this horse is and put a customer, a frequent at that, in danger by wanting to "stick it to me" and send her out for the first time in 3 weeks or so without me. Don't know what they were thinking, but I was giving a lesson and my opinion was hindered.

So here's to an adventurous ride later today, and more to come!
