<span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;">For our 10 year anniversary last year my Husband gave me a great gift, riding in a Buck clinic with Opal. I spent the last year working on things I felt I needed to improve on her, while trying to balance home life and my increasingly busy training schedule here at the barn.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, the time has come and gone, we have attended and returned from the clinic. Yesterday I don't think I fully came out of my vegetative state until 5pm, I was exhausted, so was Opal. I found her laying down and eating her breakfast. </span></span></div>

Rig pulled smoothly. Put shipping boots on all 4 of Opal's legs. She wanted nothing to do with the hind after a mile down the road, I took them off. 😑 Upon arrival, she had managed to get one of her fronts off too....brat mare. Just trying to protect her legs but noooooo....she's not having it.....for now. </span></span></span></span></div>

<br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm camping out of my trailer for the weekend. Hubby worked so hard to save up for me to come that I couldn't see asking him to spend another $400-$500 for a hotel room for the weekend. </span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm parked back by the creek and can hear the frogs croaking and horses sneezing or squealing at their new neighbor. For now it's mostly quiet. <br /><br />Opal got to roll in the soft arena footing so she's happy, camp came together fairly easily so I'm happy. Could rain tonight - good thing I figured out how to tarp my trailer alone and spent time caulking the seals. <br /><br />Another horse squealed. There's a few mustangs here- 2 from High Rock as well. Their owners seem pretty nice. There's a lady here I SWARE I know....but I can't place it. Yet. <br /><br />Tomorrow is our first day to ride. I know I've done some pretty good work with Opal, and I know some of our holes, but I'd be lying if I said I was totally confident about it all, but hey, that's why I'm here right? To learn and grow, to be better than I was yesterday, to keep moving forward. <br /><br />Since sleep was miserable last night, I think I'm turning in early. <br /><br /></span></span></span></span><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Friday's viewings:</span></span></span></span><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><b>Colt starting</b> - <br />Lots of mustangs here today. Buck's riders (people chosen by him to help with the colt class) are pretty quiet and impressive. It's good to see a quieter side of starting a horse. There's already some horses bucking at the saddles but the handlers keep going unphased. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Big crowd here watching today. Crowds usually don't get to me but for about a minute I found myself starting to panic.....they will be watching my session this afternoon. I've shown in front of crowds though so I'm sure I'll be ok. <br /><br />Also, it's cold. Where's my sunshine!?!<br /><br />With all the new experiences these colts/fillies are having and some of the explosive reactions, not once have I heard the handlers shout or holler at the horses to stop or quit. Heck, if they are talking at all to the horse, I can't hear it. It's seems to be all body language and pets when the horse makes a good attempt. <br /><br /><b>Afternoon H1</b>:<br />Raining pretty hard currently. Group is working on bending and flexion. <br /><br />I didn't get to finish watching this class since I had to rack up and get ready for mine. <br /><br /><b>Evening H1 (my class)</b>:<br />Well we did ok. Had a few ah-ha moments and a few "well shit I fucked that up didn't I?" moments. <br /><br />We worked a circling exercise tonight, trying to drive with out legs and not steer with hands (all good things to use in mounted archery). Had to stop suddenly several times because while we were close to walking the same circle every track - others were lacking. Most people are trying so it's not all bad, most of them apologized at least - a few have little ring etiquette. Buck even called them on it. <br /><br />He also suggested a few people change their bits out saying it was too much for either their level or the horse. I like that. <br /><br />At the start of class Opal was tossing her head a lot 🙄 impatient nerves. She has also been super chatty and she's normally dead quiet. <br /><br />Working on rolling the haunches was a challenge for me. For years on a circle it's been inside leg at the girth, out side leg back at the haunch. Mostly because it's been about controlling the shoulders or front end. <br /><br />With this exercise its flipped so I caught myself having to correct my legs a lot. Her roll over the having is better going left than right - or maybe I'm better times up left....something I want to talk to Buck about today now that I've had time to process. <br /><br />Opal didn't really care for the loud speakers, so we did a lot of one rein stops there. We and walked out of the arena and she wanted to rush out with the crowd, so we stayed behind working from the ground a few extra moments. All in all it was a decent day. I feel we didn't excel at anything, but we didn't totally suck either. <br /><br />Tomorrow is another day. <br /><br /><b>Colt class day 2:</b> <br /><br />Buck's colt warmup Saturday:<br /><br />Entered on foot at the walk. <br />Checked tack<br />Touching horse with flag<br />Backed 2 steps<br />Half circle right<br />Soft feel out and roll hind right<br />Back 3 steps<br />Soft feel lead out right circle <br />Rolling hind over then back to circle <br />Roll over with front follow through to reverse <br />Circling left <br />Roll over hind and back to circle<br />Searching for lightness in the lead<br />Roll the hind then the front to reverse circle <br />Circling right <br />Roll the him then front working half circles <br />Stopped and pet<br />Back 3 steps<br />Baked again 7 steps and sent out to circle<br />Rolled hind to stop then backed <br />Working both sides backing soft and circle<br />Roll hind, send the front through, back circle<br />Backed on soft feel<br /><br />Mount up:<br />Flexed head left and right with pet<br />Walk circle to right, roll the hind, back to circle <br />Half circle rolled hind reverses <br />Trots stopped by one rein stop <br />Rolled hind then front brought through on circles <br />Trot and stops with one rein<br />Trot circles and reverse figure 8's<br />Halt with flexions left/right<br />Trot circles and short serpentines<br />Walk long rein circle <br />Short serpentines walking <br />Half with a back and long rein<br />Trot circles and reverses<br />Walk <br />Trot short serpentines <br />One rein stops from trot <br />Left lead canter circle <br />One rein stop from canter <br />Right lead canter circle<br />One rein stop from canter <br />Right lead canter circles <br />Broke to trot - picked canter back up<br />Left was canter circles <br />One rein stop and halt<br />Backed 2 steps, halt<br />Trot circle to right picked up right lead <br />Trot to halt and back - outside turn <br />Trot circle left with left canter lead <br />Halt with back <br />Right trot circle, outside reverse circle<br />Halt with back<br />Trot figure 8's, straight, turns to address "problem areas" in arena<br />Halt in middle with flexions<br />Horse took off at trot - corrected with one rein<br />Asking for soft feel at walk, backed. <br />Pulled out Lass, working with rope <br />Trot/canter circles with one rein stop when horse took over <br />Flexions at walk/halt<br /><br />Dismount, back on soft feel<br />Back on lead rope<br />Hind and follow through with front<br />Exited arena<br /><br /><br />Hand to hip to get flexion to roll over hind shorten if need be<br /><br />Don't stop when working half circles. <br />Collapse circle inside - circle out <br /><br /><b>Afternoon H1: </b><br />Didn't get to watch much as I was spending most of the time warming Opal up and working her on the ground and in the tack. <br /><br /><b>Evening H1 (my session)-</b><br />Well there was less head tossing but fidgeting of feet took its place. Tomorrow if she moves I'll work her while Buck does his answering of questions and explanations. Those can take a while sometimes. 25/30 people in a class, if 5-6 have questions and each question takes 3-5 minutes to talk about or demonstrate the movements on his horse....well you get the idea. <br /><br />I found myself asking for too much flexion today with the one rein stops and roll overs. I'll have to watch that. It got better mid way through. Opal was better on her right today by the time we hit the arena, but would brace against bending left - so I chatted with Buck. His suggestion was to roll over the hind a few steps every time she braced. We sorted through that for now. <br /><br />Our soft feel and backing straight is improving I feel. She's not bracing as much as she has in the past. We began to work on placing the front foot for the turn, we only got a couple successful attempts there - more work tomorrow on that. <br /><br />More trot work today. Opal kept trying to just follow the butt in front of her, so we did lots of one rein stops at first, then we eventually got into a nice enough trot to sit. <br /><br />Opal still isn't a fan of the voice coming from the speakers when she goes by. Buck suggested we avoid them until our rectangle was better. At the end we made a few passes near them with no issues. <br /><br />How am I feeling about this all? A bit lost at times. Not lost as in I don't know what I'm suppose to be doing, but lost in that I am not always certain I'm correcting things in the right way or at the correct timing. I could blame it on the headache I've had all day, but that's just an excuse it's not the reason. There's so much going on and so many horses at different levels I feel like a straggler at times. <br /><br />I guess if it was supposed to be all sunshine and lollipops I wouldn't be here 😄<br /><br />I had a little bit of an emotional breakdown this morning. Frustration got to me. Not frustrated with Opal, but with myself mucking things up. Also I'm here alone. I've met some nice people here, but most aren't staying on site. Those that are came with a group and disappear as soon as horses are put away to go to din we as a group. By 8 the only people out and about still are the guys working the arenas for the next session the next day. A few spectators have commented on how we are doing - all positive - I guess it would just be nice to have someone who knows us here to give feed back. I'm sure that's wearing on me too. <br /><br />At the same time there's such a crowd here I find myself thinking I might pull out and start working at 1 today instead of 2 just so I can have some quiet time in an arena with me and my horse without others external influences. Opal isn't a fan of the flags....she's got a surprise waiting for her at home - she will get over it. <br /><br />Day 3: <br /><b>Colt starting -</b><br /></span></span></span></span><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Buck's colt warmup Sunday:</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Enters on foot </span></span></span></span><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Working short serpentines and circles on ground </span></span></span></span><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Checking for rolling of the hind</span></span></span></span><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Backing with a soft feel</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mount up:</span></span></span></span><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Checking one rein stops and rolling the hind waiting for him to stay soft. </span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Working circles and rolling the hind in smaller circle</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Working short serpentines, directing and placing front inside foot - circling as needed to get proper flexion and foot placement/reach</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Trot with one rein stop when horse takes over or braces.

I started getting ready at 1:15 today (Friday was 2:45, Saturday was 2). Opal was much less jumpy about things, stayed with me better, but still wanted to rush the gate and follow a horse out. We backed out instead. <br /><br />I kept her moving a lot during the Q&A phase of the start of class. Circles and rolling the hind were better at the end when I got my leg out of her and asked with less. <br /><br />Reaching with the front out of a roll over we just aren't getting. Maybe partially due to my shorter reins I use for archery/daily use, I'll try swapping them tomorrow. <br /><br />Didn't ask questions today just kept trying, just kept moving. <br /><br />After 3 days we have:<br />some decent flexions<br />ok roll overs<br />getting better at carrying a soft feel<br />our backing has improved<br /><br />There's just so much I'm not getting, and it's obvious in the increasingly advanced stuff as the days go on. I have a lot of homework to do. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span id="goog_519667994"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><b>Day 4:</b><br />Not much notes wise today for any classes. Most of today is spent fine tuning. Buck did some backing on a circle using the slobber straps on his horse. He mentioned later that night it would do Opal some good. <br /><br />Something for me to keep in mind to get Opal back with me and not solely use the one rein stop is to do circles and serpentines. (Sometimes tough in this arena with so many riders)<br /><br />Working sets were introduced today. <br />10 steps forward, 10 back<br />9 forward, 9 back<br />8 forward, 8 back<br />All the way down to 0. All the while looking for straightness and lightness, and soft feel. <br /><br />In our evening session we started out pretty nice, until the opening of the rein to bring the front back and through. After 2 days we still couldn't get it. I asked Buck to see what I was doing wrong. Turns out I was not waiting long enough and was rewarding with a release at the wrong time. So he had me wait and hold the flexion...and hold...and hold (about 2 minutes or more holding)...and as he rode up to he he said "when I say release, you drop EVERYTHING" I said ok thinking she would figure it out - nope - he helped her by giving her a bop on the nose with his reins - she finally moved and he told me release! I did. It wasn't a hard bop, just enough to get her to move. <br /><br />We had a talk about the feel of it and what I need to work on in my position and on ground to improve it. He also assisted another time the opposite direction, but no bop was needed. Opal knew he meant business. He also gave me the 'now you know what it is you'll never not wait for ever again' chat. <br /><br />We also had a talk about leg positions and hand positions. In the reaching move my one leg wasn't far enough forward and needed more rhythm and my guiding hand was in the correct location, just too high. Something I've always struggled with is being aware where my body position is. One reason I never made a great equitation rider. I've never been as fine tuned in that as my jumping trainer Michael or my sister Stephanie. <br /><br />In working on these things it's shown me (and been pointed out) that she's a little pushy and can be dull in her movements - also things for me to work on because she can move nicely at times. We also talked about my leg needing to mean more so she will respond better with less down the road. <br /><br />At the end of day 3 I felt so awful that I honestly thought for a few moments about coming home a day early. I was so overwhelmed and felt like we were getting any of it going. Hence the list of things we did improve on I typed up the previous day. I needed to think about what I had gotten right so I could keep going on day 4. <br /><br />At the end of the day my new friend and I went to thank Buck and a few people wanted pictures with him so I ran to get my phone. As he stood next to me I asked if Opal was real bad off and he said "no, she's a nice little pony you've got" so at least I haven't wrecked Opal 😊 and I've got lots of homework to do. </span></span></span></span></div>

For now, we will work on what we have and go back hopefully next year. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Nearly 2 Months Later....</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It has been a very busy 2 months. All the Holiday's and Family time are consuming as is, but then add moving on top of that. Packing, loading, unloading, unpacking, I'm just now getting back to a normal swing in life here. Training is starting to pick up since I am much closer to the horses now. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today was a pretty busy day full of working horses, lessons, a bath for one palomino, clipping, pictures, and cleaning tack. Opal and I are in the Winter Horsemanship Challenge again this winter. We're already at a half way point in it, and have a lot of riding coming up to finish it. Moving killed my time last month.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sometimes training opportunities just present themselves. Some rogue Valentine's Day balloons found their way onto the roof over Opal's stall. Needless to say they were taken down only to be tied to the fence so she could figure out they wouldn't eat her....as well as Ehawee and Emerald. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">What.....is.....THAT MOM?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ehawee is plugging right along. She's a bit chunky right now on a grass only diet, so she's getting worked more frequently.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Emerald is starting to show more brains these days. YAY! Today she was lounged on the long lounge line in the big arena. It was more oval shaped lounging versus a circle, but over all she did very well. Her manners are also coming along and she's acting less like a 'baby'.</div>

There hasn't been much going on aside from day to day things- if that. The rain has reduced us to one arena for the last several weeks. While Emmy and Ehawee are pretty good about lounging on a line, Opal not so much. In a round pen she is great, in the big arena...well...when she decides to go another way, its hard to argue with 1,100 pounds. I'll be working on that with her once we have the rest of our arenas open, its just not something I feel is safe to work on while others are using the arena as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We are looking at a wet winter this year. Thank goodness for covered arenas, I am able to get them out. Also, I'm thankful for a stall for my girls to get out of the weather in and good footing in their corrals. They might not be dry yet, but they aren't fetlock deep in muck.</div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Two back to back shots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alright everyone, I am so late at posting this. I got swamped in trying to get ready for my family trip that I ran out of time to write this down. Plus, the night before I left, my darling Niece fell asleep in my office for the night before I could get my laptop. Oh well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Opal has been getting bored standing at the target. She's a bit too smart also...waiting to walk away from the target until I have taken aim sometimes. I figured it was time to start moving. The Owners of the barn allowed me to set up a target away from the arenas and barn so I could shoot with minimal risk of injuring someone else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I acquired 2 bales of straw at at the suggestion of one of the Owners, wrapped it up in plastic bags for the winter to help preserve the bale. I took big lawn bags and hay twine to secure the bags. I even gave myself a mark to aim at.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I began by walking Opal up to, around and by the targets, letting her explore them. Next I shot at the targets while on the ground, then while walking her in hand so she could get the idea while moving. After she seemed fine with that, I mounted her and shot the targets standing, then asked her to walk.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">We did have one bump in the road. The wind kicked up and caused the plastic bags to flap, she crow hopped/spooked and in an effort to grab the reins and get her head up, i hit the dirt. I am ok, bruised a bit, but ok. Once I figured out what caused her to spook, we lounged by the flappy plastic until she calmed down enough to think, then I tucked the loose ends in and went back to square one, shooting at a stand still. We eventually were able to walk and shoot again that day. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since then I have been walking Opal in hand shooting at the new targets to get her accustom to the new set up. She also has 2 flappy trash bags living full time in her stall, she's dealing with them a bit better each day. She has no problem eating in there with them, but every now and then the wind gets them and she gets wide eyed. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

Hooked hard. I recently got my bow and was able to start introducing it to Opal. I posted a picture on one of my Facebook group pages a few weeks ago and I've had several people ask how I got started with this whole archery adventure. While I am still very VERY new to it all, I will share what i have learned and done so far.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

The Bass Pro in Manteeca near us has a free class offered a few times a month. During the class we went over basic form, technique, and left the class knowing what pound bow we were best suited for as well as any additional gear we would need. (Like an arm guard for me) If you have never shot before, I would deffinetly recommend taking a beginning class.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

First we started with shooting in front of you, then next to her, and finally off a mounting block over her back. Opal was non-reactive to this, which let me know I could proceed in the buying of gear. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

We had a costume class for our barn Halloween Play Day, so I went as an Archer. It was the first time I had ridden Opal with the bow, but it let her get use to me drawing and moving the bow around as we moved. I did this without arrows.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

This was just a precaution in case Opal decided to walk off or spook. Since Opal didn't mind arrows flying in the air, the next 2 days I did not have her held. Right now we are just shooting at a stand still, once my form/aim/groupings become more consistent we will begin moving. At my barn we have a 4-5 stack of straw with salad plate sized targets painted on the bales.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Please keep in mind, I've spent less than a month reading up on this and I am still learning, but here's what I have found. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">In competition traditional bows are allowed. No compound or mechanical triggers/releases are allowed. Neither are bows with shelves. Recurve, Asian (Hungarian/Mongolian/Horse), Long Bows seem to be the main stream. Also a draw weight between 30-40 pounds seems to be what the average is for competition.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">You will notice my Monarch Recurve Bow has a shelf, so it will not be permitted in competition. My bow is also a 20 pound draw, I was able to draw a 30 pound, but my form suffered rapidly from the weight, so the lower draw allows me to shoot more arrows with more accuracy. My bow was a fairly inexpensive one and is strictly for me to gain the basic skills of archery. Eventually I will get a more appropriate bow, but since they cost a lot more and usually come at a higher draw strength, the bow I have is good for what I am using it for.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Aside form Opal deciding she didn't want to finish going up the hill and would rather side pass downhill, she was a champ. Not exactly sure what her deal was other than the previous horses protested at a small hole in the trail, and by hole I mean a dip, not a gopher or rabbit hole. When we came across a group of Boy Scouts out for a nature hike, Opal decided she wanted go with the kids than with her buddies, but listened to me leg when I said no.</span></span></span></div>

I am always looking to practice in different trailers. Having broken down twice on the 10 freeway in Southern California and having to unload horses out of your rig and into another while traffic is speeding by isn't fun. Even less fun when your horse won't go into any trailer but theirs. <span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><i><u>PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!</u></i> </span> </span>The rig that rescues you might not be what your horse is accustomed to. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Checking out the 2 horse trailer after the trail ride. Opal got a bath right after we practiced.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">As far as mounted archery is going, my class is tomorrow. By the end I will have an idea of what gear I will need and what sizes/weights work best. In the meantime Opal and I have been working on moving off my leg. I also was able to find a lighter weight (10 pounds+ lighter) western saddle. It fits us both well and with the weight of the saddle lightened, that puts less stress on her spine. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The mares have also been introduced to being turned out with Emerald. First just Emerald and Ehawee since they are buddies. After a few laps around at a canter with Emerald wanting to lead and be boss, Ehawee finally let her. Opal and Emerald, on the other hand, just sniffed each other and decided to eat the leaves together. When all 3 got turned out together, they ran a few laps, then went to rolling and grazing on leaves. We have a play day at the end of the month and a bomb proofing clinic as well. I have done a few bomb proofing tasks with my horses in preparation for the clinic. The end of this month is going to be very busy. I will try to update more frequently on it :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Surely you have something for me, a small treat perhaps?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last week I joined another Horsemanship challenge group hosted by some of the same people who did ran the Winter Horsemanship Challenge Opal and I participated in earlier this year. This one is set up slightly different and includes the following goals:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1) 25 rides of any length. If riding twice in one day, there must be a 2 hour break between rides.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2) Achieve 25 hours spent working with your horse.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Work on the following:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1) Flatwork</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2) Trails</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3) Jumps (baby cross rails count)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">5) Performance Piece on something outside your comfort zone.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Opal and I have had a couple rides, hit the trail soon, have 'jumped' a baby jump, and work on flatwork frequently.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As for the 'out of my comfort zone' I really struggled to figure out what to do here since I really don't have an outside my comfort zone with horses. I've done a lot in my riding career, and have a lot more I can still learn, but as for something that makes me 'uncomfortable', well, I just don't feel that way around horses. (Not to be mistaken for being careful, safe, and educated around horses)</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After talking with a few people and thinking it over, I decided to see if Opal and I could take a stab at something I've always wanted to try, but have little to no knowledge on. Mounted Archery. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yep, you read that right. I have not shot a bow since Girl Scout Camp at age, oh, 11 or so. Before I go and spend money on a bow and taking classes, practicing, ect, I needed to make sure Opal was on board with this idea.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I first started by throwing crops/whips out in front of her while I was standing next to her. Piece of cake, no reaction. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Next our barn owner Tami offered to fire off a few arrows at out target while I held Opal to see how she would do. We started out in front of Opal, then next to, and finally over her back. You can see Opal's "Big Reaction" here in this short video.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Needless to say this is all very encouraging. I'll be attending a beginning archery class in a few weeks, until then, Opal and I will be working on moving off my legs and flexion while riding.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ehawee is being ridden not only by my family, but by a younger student as well. She is a patient schooling horse and is very forgiving to her students, but still makes them work for it. She is also being schooled with the side reins and working on cavaletties when I ride her. </span></span></span></div>

She worked with the buoys today again, and sported her new bridle and bit her Mommy sent her. We are still a ways away from riding, but she is being introduced to the tack now to wear it while she works to get use to being tacked up. She plays with the rollers on her bit a lot right now, but likes her bit overall. She also let me trim her a bridle path so her bridle will sit nicely behind her ears.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The summer sun is slowly setting earlier and earlier and coming up later and later. The days grow shorter and my girl's coats are starting to fluff up. Winter is coming.......NOOOOOOOOOOOO!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ok, sorry for the protest, but I'm a summer girl, the warm sun never bothered me anyways.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The last couple weeks have been fun. My Sister and my Niece were in town and my Sister jumped Ehawee over a fence. It was Ehawee's first jump while carrying a rider. Sometimes a horse shows talent on the ground, but when you get in the tack, they decide its not their thing, Ehawee did great though, very willing. She needs a lot of flat work and exercises over poles and cavaletties to help get her tuned up.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sunday is normally "Daddy Day" for my daughter. They get some one on one time together, and I get a few hours at the barn to ride, clean like mad, and forget about Mickey Mouse, Frozen (which I love), and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood for a few hours. I can spend time lounging and riding at my own pace, sit and eat a meal.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This Sunday he took me up on the offer to come out and work with the horses. He's been out one other time since the move and has wanted to learn more about them and get in some riding....partially because he wants to understand what I'm talking about, and partly to understand what his Boss is talking about. Today he had his first ride since we did the Grand Canyon Mule ride on our Honeymoon nearly 10 years ago. </span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He got to ride Ehawee, who was a bit curious about what all was going on and who was on her, but she plowed right along. She even gave our Daughter a ride. I got to ride Opal while he rode Ehawee. Opal wasn't too thrilled with not being able to go right over to her buddy and be social....sorry mare, can't just mindlessly follow the horse in front of you and ignore me aids. Both mares did well today and got a bath before getting to go home for the day.</span></span></span><br />

While I prefer to "pet" my horses with long strokes, the world likes to "pat" them. This means I have to get my horses use to both so they don't jump out of their skin when some City Slicker wants to pet my horse and pats them like a dog or cat. Emerald is finally getting use to both. She lets me fly spray her at liberty in her corral and her ground manners have improved daily. She got introduced to 3 new things over the last few weeks. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

I decided to introduce her to the big green ball and let her go to town. Since she LOVES treats, I simply put the ball between us while holding a cookie out for her. After a couple of round of ring around the green ball, she grabbed it with her teeth and moved it. I used my clicker and gave her a treat and went back to my starting position. By the time 15 minutes had gone by, she was kicking it around and away to get a treat as well as biting it. I left the round pen to let her explore on her own. The "3 amigos" in the pasture next to the round pen were not too sure of this green thing....and Emmy caught on to that and moved it closer and closer to them, causing them to become alert and even snort.

I took my blue flame patterned saddle pad and hung it up for her to smell and see. It's one of my daily pads so the scent of her buddy Ehawee was on it and helped make it not so scary. Next I let it touch her face, them moved it down her neck and onto her back. Emmy only looked at it to see what it was doing, not once was she tense or scared.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had to explain to 3 staff members at West Coast Marine that I wouldn't be using these on a boat, rather on a horse, so I wouldn't need to water vessel rescue membership (think AAA but for boats) That's one thing I love about my job, making people rethink things, methods, and how to see something a little differently. Especially non-horse people. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This idea was mentioned to me by one of my Wild Horse Mentors, Willis Lamm. It's a boarder line genius idea. Here's the link to his website talking all about the Buoy's.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The basic idea is this. When riding a horse the first few times, sometimes our leg touching their sides can cause them to freak out, especially if you have a very sensitive horse. Taking a Buoy and attaching to a surcingle or saddle while you move the horse can aid in that. The Buoy is roughly the same length as my lower leg, and as the horse moves, it moves. They swing, they sway, they bounce around, and they touch the horse while the horse moves. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Emmy had a short introduction to these with them just sitting over her back and walking around in hand or in a small circle. She wasn't phased one bit. Next time she will be wearing them with a surcingle. </span></span></div>

While we hope things like this never happen to our animals, I am glad to have had the opportunity to participate in this training. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The events with my horses health over the
last 8 months is still a topic of discussion for some. I've avoided posting
stats because I wanted to move past it. However, I feel the need to for
the record.<br />
<br />
After 2 months on my own and seeing no progress in weight gain for either of my
horses, I brought in my Vet in March. My Vet and I discussed bumping up
their supplements. In April my horses had their shots and the Vet saw no
difference, so we added in more feed and made a date in May for their teeth.
After consulting with my Vet and Equine Dentist when I had their teeth done in early
May, both agreed the teeth was not the cause of so much weight loss and that
both horses were in good health aside from weight. I took their
professional advice, which resulted in me moving my mares to a place better
suited for my horses needs.<br />
<br />
My horses have been under my Vet's care since March and are still being
monitored closely by me and informing my Vet as needed. There is no issue
with my horses’ health now. They are energetic, they have healthy coats,
and they are gaining weight nicely. In fact one of them is now a bit
chunky and is having her diet cut back, the other still has some weight to
gain, but is gaining at a steady healthy pace.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I tape the girls every 3-4 weeks or right
before I got out of town for a while so I can have a number to work with when I
return. They receive 30 pounds of good quality hay a day for their meals
and supplemental feed has been eliminated as of June 20. Between the two
they have gained 20-50 pounds a month since their relocation.</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span> I don't have standing shots at all the measurement dates unfortunately, however, these will show some of their progress.</span></span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I noticed Ehawee was starting to look filled
in at the beginning of the month, but I didn't want to cut her diet while I
wasn't there for a few weeks to watch her. Her weight should be around
875. I know since she was a smaller horse she would not need the large
quantity of feed long term, however, the Professionals I consult with on their health didn’t
want to cut back too early until she got back into a consistent work load. Adjustments have now been made to her diet.<br />
<br />
Opal lost the most being the bottom of the pecking order, she is also a much
larger built horse and is getting closer to 35 pounds of good quality hay a
day. She has her own stall and can eat at her own pace, but she still
gets focused in on her food at lunch or dinnertime because she was so hungry
for so long. It will take time for her to get over this, but that's
ok. Opal should be between 1,100 and 1,150 pounds.<br />
<br />
The bottom line is this; I did what was in the
best interest of my horses based on the advisement of the Professionals.<br />

Before I left for my family vacation at the begining of the month, Cypress Stables had a just for fun play day in the evening. I took Emmy in a few of the in-hand classes. It was the first time she had been in the arena with other horses. She did her two classes very calmly and listened well. After her classes I had her stand in the arena with me while I ran the rest of the classes with riders so she got exposed to the sounds and noises. She didn't seem to mind much at all. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

When I returned we noticed she was getting a bit chunky, so we adjusted her diet by removing her morning alfalfa flake. She has plenty of energy these days and I'm considering cutting out her evening alfalfa as well. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Emmy likes to creep up on you and be a pocket pony sometimes, which I don't totally mind, I love when my horses want to be near me, however they also need to respect my space when I ask them for it. My next task will be working to desensitize her sides in preparation for taking a rider in the future.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Between lessons and training, I was lending a hand as best I could helping prepare the Stables for several new horses moving in as well as helping cover stall cleaning while our wonderful hard working Jose took his family on a well deserved vacation. <span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">While all this madness was going on the last several days, the girls crossed the line from needing to 'get fat' to conditioning. We are now at the point where they can be ridden and start building up on their lounging time as well. We increased Opal's dinner feeding a bit to help continue her gain, while Ehawee is near her goal weight (and has a little belly currently) and will continued to be monitored to find exactly the right feed amount combination to maintain her weight. Both are gaining at a good, steady rate.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Savanna, one of the younger boarders at Cypress and a good rider, rode Ehawee one day while I rode Opal. Both mares were happy to be back riding in the arena, Ehawee so much that she gave 3 jumps of joy when she first walked forward. Opal was only interested in following her friend around, and wasn't too thrilled I wouldn't let her. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Opportunity presented itself for a trail ride with Amigo and his owner Greg, so we jumped at the opportunity. We loaded up early and headed for Round Valley. </span>Opal didn't like going across the bridge first so Amigo lead the charge. The trail started out level and slowly began to rise. We hit some spots where there were big rocks in the trail you either had to go around or they were low to the ground and you had to walk over them. We arrived at a set of 3 that almost made stairs, that's when Opal said "no Mom". I asked again, same answer, so I dismounted and she followed me as I lead her along the trail a bit further. It was hot out, so we stopped several time to water the horses and ourselves. Opal worked up a good sweat and we decided to head back for the trailer on foot over the rocks since we were now going downhill. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Both horses moved along like champs. Once we hit flat ground again we remounted and continued to the trailer. I've never practiced with a real gate with Opal, but decided to give it a try with the cattle gate. It took her a few minutes to understand where I wanted her to go and what we were doing, but we were able to hold the gate open for Amigo to walk through and get through ourselves.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Emmy finally got leading on the left earlier this week. Previously she would trot/canter past me when she got to me. Once she got this we worked on the squeeze game and passing between narrow places. (Like the trails Opal and I were on today) I like to have the option to lead from both sides because you may find yourself on a narrow trail and not be able to lead from the correct side. (Hey, that happened on the trail today to come to think of it...) </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since I had another trailer hooked up, Emmy also practiced loading in a different trailer, she wasn't on board at first but after a brief discussion she went in twice. Emmy likes to exit the trailer a bit fast, so for now I will only be letting her back out slowly. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I continue to work with Emmy on ground work and desensitizing to everything. Ropes being tossed around, tarps, noodles, you name it. We take it one thing at a time. </span> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Emmy LOVES water....as you can tell by the videos below. She has a smaller rubber water tub because she cracked and broke her larger plastic one a few weeks ago. I will fill it no more than twice for her since she just plays in it mostly and I don't want to waste water. This is usually how I find her water tub everyday. (Don't worry, she also has an automatic waterer that she uses all the time)</div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">It has been a busy week of training and working the girls. Opal and Ehawee are looking and feeling great. Ehawee was lounged over a small fence this week in the jump course. Once she focused on her task, she sailed over easily. Opal and Ehawee are still being a little food oriented at lunch time, but this will pass in time. It's time to dust off my tack and get ready to ride again. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Opal was re-introduced to the tarp this week. While she walked over it easily, having it touch her was a little different. Once I convinced her it wouldn't eat her, she let me put it right over her back and walk her with it on her. It was also a windy day, so that hindered and helped me at the same time.</span></span></span></div>

Emmy has had a full week of training. Working with mounting blocks, ropes, and tarps. Scary, horse eating tarps. Emmy was very curious at first, she even picked it up with her teeth, then it crinkled, she backed up, it followed her, she snorted, finally dropping it and cantered away from it. Eventually with a guiding line and letting her explore at her own pace, she went over the tarp. </div>

Emmy was also given a licking toy in her stall and a big water tub in her stall. Unfortunately Emmy LOVES water....and after 3 days, her tub suffered a fatality. Future note: rubber tubs for Emmy. She is a very sweet, water loving, and playful mare.</div>

When working with the mounting blocks, I line her up to the block, lean over and give her lots of rubs and scratches on both sides of her belly while leaning on her a little more each time. She really enjoys her belly rubs.</div>

The mares continue to be playful in ways I've not seen before. Especially Opal, its a side of her I have not seem before. Its kind of fun. Ehawee has once again become her loving self, but both mares are still focused on food. They know when lunch has been served and they aren't in their homes eating it yet. I've begun walking them past their stall at the slightest hint of them turning in without me turning first. It took Opal 4 trips back and forth to get it, Ehawee took 2. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Both mares are enjoying their home made toys. I don't mind store bought ones, but I hate buying them and then having them not get played with. This simple toy allows me to watch them play for a while and decide if buying them toys would be a good idea. Before it gets asked, no, they are not bored and yes, they get out for at lease a hour daily if not more. They are just simply feeling frisky and full of life.</div>

We worked on loading up in the trailer and unloading out of it. She tends to rush unloading a bit, but that will come in time. During the loading phase Emmy gave a little spook at some tin roof making noise and came well within my personal space. She didn't run me over, but we had to have a chat about it. I am pleased she sees me as a safe place, but no one jumps on this Alpha Mare....or any in the wild for that matter. I walked with intent towards her and made her move out of my space for 10 feet or so, just far enough to let her know that she crossed a line.</span></span></span></span></span></span> </div>

Emmy also got introduced to our new trail obstacles. the pit and hill. Well she didn't walk the hill yet, just went by it. The pit and mound went in over night so when we walked out the next day, she snorted at them. Perfect excuse to go see them. It took her a few moments to figure it all out, but then she was walking in the pit like a pro.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today Emmy was taken into the round pen for some ground work. I've been working with her reversing and moving off a soft feel in the lead. She gets it well 75% of the time, does ok 20% of the time, and the last 5% I think she gets distracted by her boyfriends or herd mates. Still, not bad for a young horse.</div>

After the ground work, I brought in the mounting block. I let her check it out first before climbing on it myself with her in the pen. Since she didn't seem to mind that I moved on to asking her to move up to the block, giving her lots of scratches and loves. If she moved away, I just asked that she move forward. Pretty soon she was right next to the block. Then I began to move the block next to her in mounting position and continued the scratches and loves. She stood quiet for several moments with the block next to her and getting touched on both sides. After several attempts and her reacting so positively I took her home, fly sprayed her and called it a day.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do my mustang and my daughter have in common? They are both in their 4 year old year....and have a tendency to be a little dramatic sometimes. My Daughter is usually dramatic because I've told her no for some reason....like "no, you can't go climbing over the pasture fence to see the donkey."</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday I stopped by to give the 3 mares psyllium before my lessons started, just a quick 'hello girls, enjoy your yummies' sort of drop by. Came back after my lessons were over and got a call from my vet saying she was home if I wanted to bring Opals paperwork by for her to fill out, so I jumped back into my car for the second time without taking Opal out. I guess you Opal found this completely unacceptable as once I returned, she did this to Ehawee's halter and lead rope. Opal could not reach hers, but I think she was trying to make a point.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Emerald is getting great at putting her fly mask on.....and taking it off. I don't know if she has help taking it off, or shes just clever. I put it on each afternoon, and each morning its in her stall, on the floor....I'm going to have to watch her the next time I'm at the barn all day....clever girl.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">She (and my girls for that matter) have become very attached to Ranger, Tami's mustang gelding. Emmy gets upset when he walks away from her in his pasture, but shes getting over it. Ehawee and Emmy have now worked out who's calling the shots in the barn....its Ehawee...and Emmy seems to be ok with that.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Today I lounged Emmy over some pool noodles. Noodles are a fun tool to have for training. They can make a 'car wash' for a trail course, be used for poles, work with a horse on being touched while keeping a safe distance, the list goes on. Emmy nosed them around for a bit before I set up and 'L' for her to step over. She jumped the first time and looked at the noodle, but after that she worked over them with ease. Another warm day ended with her getting rinsed off and water play. </span></span></div>

both of my girls have a crush on the same gelding....you hear that
mares....he can't help you! Anyways, both mares are quite smitten with
Ranger, a black mustang gelding. Since both mares left their brains in
the stall and were thinking with their lady parts today, it was a short
turn out. Both Opal and Ehawee are getting better at standing in cross
ties for grooming, but when the 4 year old is having a squirmy worm day,
its easier to groom them inside their stall with the door closed while
she watches from my tack trunk. </span></span></span></div>

I could tell Emmy was checking it out, but willing to keep going with me. She was turned out next to the arena my girls were in, so they got to say hello to each other. Emmy has also taken a shine to Ranger. Tami, you better lock him up....these ladies have a crush on your boy.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #38761d;">High Rock Emerald to training.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While off on my Mule Days adventure with family and friends of family, I got brought into a discussion about training a mustang or a mule for the Douglass'. The Douglass' and my Family go way back and we have been involved in horses for.....<i>a long time</i>....have attended wedding for the 'kids' in the family, babies showers for those 'kids', vacations and camping trips, horse shows, the list goes on. The point being is that in my mind, Ken and Carol Douglass and their 'kids' (they are only a few years younger than I am) are family. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Carol wanted a mustang. I started looking though my Facebook mustang groups to see what I could find. I came across a little stout bay mare named Emerald from the High Rock HMA, the same one my Opal is from. She caught Carol's eye immediately. Emerald is a 3 year old Mustang mare. We made plans for me to go see Emerald where she was being gentled down by TIP trainer Danielle Alfaro in Grass Valley, Ca.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have another friend I met through Facebook who adopted another High Rock mustang and she didn't live too far away from where I was going so I asked if she wanted to meet up the same day. Tabitha Mitchell met Opal at the BLM corrals before I adopted her and she thought she was a super sweet girl then. We had lunch and then went up to see her 3 boys, Sam Elliot, Briggs (from High Rock), and Drifter. Sam wasn't too sure about this stranger in his pasture with HIS Mom....until he realized I was feeding carrots to Briggs and Drifter. (Like I would show up with out a little snack for ponies....upon Owner approval of course.) We spent a little over a hour in the pasture meeting the boys and the other horses on the property before I had to head over to meet Emerald.</div>

I made my way over to meet Emerald and Danielle. We had a nice chat, worked with Emerald a while, took lots of pictures and videos to send off to the Douglass' to go over. Since they were just getting home from a camping trip that Sunday, I knew it would be a couple days before anything was decided. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Something about this mare kept pulling om Carol and by Wednesday plans were in motion for them to bring the truck and trailer up to see her in person and adopt her if they connected. Barn was on notice and BLM was on notice. By 6 pm on Friday the 13th, Emerald had worked her magic and was loaded in the trailer to head for her new home for the next year, Cypress Stables, where she will be in training with me. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
On the 14th, Emerald's first day at Cypress Stables, she got to enjoy some turn out time with lots of love and attention form several people at the barn. She's calm and happy with all the attention and has made friends with the horse next to her Lucas. Ehawee is her other neighbor, and Ehawee is trying to make sure Emerald (or Emmy for short) knows who the Alpha mare is. This first week will be mostly turning her out and walking her aound the barn, letting her get to see the facility before I start asking a lot of her work wise.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I can hardly believe its been 2 weeks! Seems like we just moved in last night still. The great news is both my girls have settled into a nice routine in the barn. They are now eating their full meals before the next meal arrives, they were not use to getting so much food! It's good to see them with full, happy tummies. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Linda (who half leases Ehawee) is head over heels with the new barn as well and how the girls are doing. Linda is able to lead both mares out to the round pens or turn out for some exercise and take them back to their homes. I'm quite pleased with how things are going. They also seem to have quite the fan club, several other boarders have come by to meet them and ask questions about the 'new mustangs'. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">BLM came out this week to look in on Opal for her title. Even though I had informed them about what was going on and having involved my vet several months ago, and my reason for moving my girls, her title has to wait until next month so Opal has more time to put weight back on. My Vet sent off a letter to BLM informing them of her progress and steps we took over the last several months to aid in her weight gain, so there's a record going of what I have done to help them both. (THANK YOU MARCIA!) The owner of the barn I am at knows me and Opal as well and put in a good word to the inspector for me as well (THANK YOU TAMI!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since the move 2 weeks ago, I can already see a major difference in their behavior and both are putting weight on. I used the weight tape to get a base line for them the day after the move. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Opal's current weight: 960 (came home at 1,200)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ehawee's current weight 750 (should be 900)</span></span></div>

</i><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Change can be welcoming and scary at the same time. Even more so when it comes to the care of your human and furry family. I have had horses all my life and as a child my Parents told my Sisters and me "If you want horses, you have to take care of them yourself." This meant feeding, cleaning, grooming, exercise, digging trenches to fix a busted pipe in the middle of summer or in the pouring rain, the list goes on. My horses growing up only resided in 2 places, my Grandparents from age 0 - 10 and my parents house until I got married at the age of 24. Boarding was a foreign concept to me and to be honest, frightened me. Who could I trust to take as good of care if not better care of my horses than I could?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span>
</i><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been fortunate to have boarded at two facilities that I really loved at the time I was there, but the time has come to move once again. This time it wasn't because the ranch was being sold, but for the well being of my animals and me. Horses are my measure on my happiness in my life, when I start to not want to spend time with them, or I dread going to my 'sanctuary' (aka the barn), its time for a change.....scary, scary, unpredictable change.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span>
</i><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Plans were set into motion for the beginning of June to move my girls out of their pasture and into their own stalls and paddock. Their very behavior was changing, and not in a good way. The barn began to change, and not in a good way. My sanctuary was no more as I found myself counting down the days to my trip to Bishop Mule Days and the move versus the days until I would be back home working with my horses again. I was also avoiding conflict as I just don't want to deal with drama in a place I am <i>suppose</i> to find peace.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span>
</i><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>June 1st and 2nd:</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First of June was moving day, and since I left Southern California at 4 am, it was also a long day. I never recall exactly how much gear I have until its time to move it all. I managed to fill up the back of the truck and the cab of the truck, and I still have a saddle at home waiting to go back. Both Ehawee and Opal loaded into the trailer like old pros. Practice, Practice, Practice, it pays off. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once at the new barn we showed the girls to their new houses. Opal wasn't too sure about walking into the barn at first, then she wasn't sure about entering the stall, but eventually followed me in a few moments later. Ehawee was a bit excited about the new barn, calling out to anyone who could hear her. Lunch was waiting for them in their stalls. Opal dove right in while Ehawee stayed mostly outside her stall to holler at everyone. They settled down by dinner time and by morning were eating inside just fine. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span>
</i><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ehawee still had lots of energy and needed a good lounging. She is very herd bound right now, which will lessen over time as they settle into their new homes. Ehawee also enjoyed several good rolls.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Opal doesn't seem too bothered about being separated, especially since she gets to eat her whole meal without being chased off. Opal hardly lifts her head if there is food in her stall to eat. Opal was lounged a bit today as well and turned out in the large turnout. She rolled, bucked, kicked, and RAN! I mean she tucked her butt under herself and was having a grand time. </span></span><br />

</i><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seeing the way my girls behaved today versus the last several weeks and months reassures me in my decision. We have a new place to find our peace together again.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">These days were spent working on ground manners with Opal. I'm not sure if it was the wind, or spring fever, but her manners got left in her pasture. Hey, we all have off days, right? We practiced standing at the tie pole and not dancing around. It didn't take long for the lights to come on upstairs. Opal still has a lot of coat to shed, most of the barn seems to be ready for warmer weather with their summer coats, but both Opal and Ehawee are still fluffy to some degree. Daily grooming just helps build a stronger bond, so I don't mind.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With the weather improving (I say that as a big storm is starting to roll in...sigh) Greg, owner of the mustang Amigo, and I decided to roll the dice on a very windy day and hit the trail for the first time this year. Aside from the wind, it was a lovely day for a ride. Not to mention a much needed one for me to decompress - sewer line had to be replaced and it took nearly 5 weeks to get it done, yeah, that wasn't stressful at all. Anyways, we decided to try Round Valley for our ride. We chose wisely. Since the trail is tucked against the hills, there was little to no wind. The creek was even flowing and full of tadpoles! Opal just wanted to play in the water, but Amigo took some working with, but in the end, even he was walking and playing in the water.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We started off walking our horses in hand, Opal had never been on this trail and while it wasn't very windy, there are lots of big oak trees around with the potential to loose branches. We also encountered some cattle which Opal seemed interested in. Once I knew she was on with the cattle, I found a rock and mounted up to ride her back to the trailer. We got lots of play time in the water and she even trotted a bit on the trail with ease. Truth be told, while she was well mannered in hand as we walked the trail, she was much better when I was up in the saddle. She was happy to just plow along the trail. It was a perfect first outing for the season. </span></span></div>

I thought I might have to shave her down if she didn't start soon. We worked on ground tying today, because she seemed to have totally forgotten how to in the last week. The three mares (Opal, Ehawee, and Satin who is owned by Sarah and is in the pasture with my girls) got turned out into the arena today to run and play. There was a huge puddle in it, and they eventually took to playing in it. Satin and Ehawee romped and ran, while Opal stood by me as I took pictures. She could not be bothered by their shananagains. </span></span></div>

Its been a busy week and a half, time kept getting away from me and my postings. However, I should be back on track this week. Most of my last few rides and sessions have been with both mares. Working on them walking together, gearing them up to have Opal pony Ehawee. Most rides were shorter as to keep them happy with each other in close quarters. They seem to be catching on quickly. The results was a nice little ride around the arena.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Opal and I also finished our 12 week riding challenge this week with 30 rides and 55 horsemanship hours! This has really taught me something about her. She's not an arena horse. in fact, she really doesn't like it all that much. She listens, but given the chance she will walk right into the center of the ring and stop. No glitzy western pleasure classes for us. She's also not the fastest mover, while I can get her to move out, it takes a lot of work, so I guess no serious gymkhana for us either. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am fine with not doing either of those. I think she's going to be a great trail and trail trial horse. I can't wait to discover exactly what lights her up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The mares both had their feet done this week as well. Opal only had an attitude on her last leg, which is a good improvement. Ehawee's hoof is all better and there's only the slightest bit of the cut on her hoof from her injury January 2013. I'm so glad she pulled through that. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With the weather being warmer, and Opal just now starting to shed, I braided her mane today and hosed off her legs to help keep her cool. It was VERY sunny and 75 out today (YAY! No more winter!)</span></div>

However, when life gives you lemons, throw one back and say 'Fine! I'll do my OWN thing!'</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Big puddles in the arena, avoid riding or training tool? As long as the footing is ok (I always walk the arena after a rain) I say use it to your advantage. The other option is to run a hose for hours during the summer, and that's wasteful, and we're in a drought. Opal and I have had a few rides over the week and a half, but I managed to shoot a video of her ride today. We hit ride #20 for our challenge, only 10 more to go! Most of our rides are spent working to keep her on the rail in the direction I'm wanting her to go and not the way she want to go. She also listens well to my Daughter when she rides. </span></span></div>

Given the chance, Opal will walk right off the rail and walk over to my daughter in her wagon or stroller and stop to visit with her. I love that she loves my kid so much, but it creates a challenge sometimes when we're on the rail at a walk or trot and she tries to walk into the middle of the arena. She's doing a little better with me on that issue because I put my leg on and open my outside rein. Sometimes we trot the whole length of the arena at a near side pass. One thing at a time.</div>

Opal worked in the arena with Greg and his Mustang Amigo this week as well. Opal got to follow my at liberty while I set up a pole exercise to work the horses over. My daughter really wanted to ride again, so I put her up on Opal once I was done working with her. Opal walks so nicely with my Daughter on her back. I love that they both love each other.</div>

Opal will now roll right next to me and allow me to pet her belly while she is on the ground. It takes a lot of trust form both parties to do this and safety is key. I love seeing her have a good roll, even if I cant give her a bath for a bit longer. Is it summer yet??</div>
