Quick Update!

Gosh I keep forgetting to blog!! I have been pretty lazy with the mustangs the last few days. I let them out to graze trying to get them show ready. I only have time for a certain amount of riding due to the heat. Both of them are about the same. I have started to feel like I am not moving on them at all. Then Danial reminded me to look back at where they were four weeks ago and I will see how far they have come.  I feel behind because I am not in the arena on them yet but in reality I am riding in my big round pen mainly because it is shaded in the mornings and the arena is not. The round pen is a good 10-15 degrees cooler then the arena. I figure I teach as much in there as I can and then the arena will be even easier. LOL really I don't like the heat. Either way they are both riding pretty great so I stepped back and started doing some ground things with them to start getting them ready for things that they need to be prepared for. So day before yesterday I pulled them out and got them both walking over the tarp. Sunday has been really a confidant little horse. Everything you ask her to do she is over dramatic about how she doesn't want to but them does it with no issue at all. She is really funny. She is always second guessing if she can accomplish a task, then always surprises me on how well she masters things. Sable is the opposite. She seems like all is fine, then looses her confidence, but then turns around and does it pretty well. Thing about Sable is when she gets scared (which is rare) she will explode. That make me nervous.
Today I called the MHF (Mustang Heritage Foundation) to find out how the classes are separated. Once I heard how cool this year will be I decided to take some stress off and do one mare in the specialty classes and the other in the Legends class. The goal is to just have fun. Now to figure out which horse goes where and which classes to enter. I feel way more less stress because of this decision.  My current feeling is that Sunday is my Legends horse and Sable is my specialty horse. But that could change. Today I taught Sunday to pick me up off the fence. Although I was teaching her in the stall and  I felt it was to small to jump on and ride. I am excited in what I am seeing. We are still having issues with the bit. I was so excited to see my package that came in today that had my bosal in it. I pulled it out and inspected it ready to rig it, shape it, and use it tomorrow. As I started trying to shape it I realized that it was literally longer on one side then the other. It was crooked. I thought to myself "This isn't going to work." So I called the company repacked it and got it ready to send back. So needless to say I was bummed.
As far as Sable she has been having a small "mustang moment" where they are scared of everything. I am going to work with her in the morning if weather permits to see how she is. I plan on riding them a lot in the next week. I have got to make some big steps soon so I can get them going. I fell half way there on five different paths. I will keep everyone informed. Night all.
