We're working together to figure out her gaits. Concentrating on her foxtrot right now. It is very smooth until she does a "skip" with her hind legs and tosses me up a bit. I am starting to figure out when she's about ready to do that and I'm trying to sit it better and push her harder to stay in her gait.
She did such a good job this weekend!! We are becoming a great team.
I think she's also enjoying the cats at the farm. I call them Stripey (the striped one) and Blacky (the black one). The girls call them Paws and Babe. I don't know which one is which; hence, Stripey and Blacky. They are under-your-feet cats. I believe Stripey spent some time under Cassie's hoof a while back. His back end wasn't right for a while. Wasn't sure if he was gong to make it. I don't want to be next to Cassie when Stripey decides to jump on her back.
I tie Cassie up next to a concrete wall when I'm grooming her and/or getting her ready to ride. Stripey likes to sit on the ledge while I'm doing this.
Often Cassie will snip at her. After our ride today, Cassie must have been a bit tired because she let Stripey give her a kiss....
More nice weather to come this week!!!
