AFTER DRIVING ON SLIPPERY ROADS ALL DAY TRYING TO DELIVER THE MAIL WITHOUT STRAINING YOUR BACK YOU COME HOME TO A HORSE WATERER THAT IS NOT WORKING , TWO HORSES THAT NEED TO BE TRAINED , AND A MUSTANG THAT NEEDS LOTS OF ATTENTION. SOUNDS LIKE CALGON TAKE ME AWAY TO MOST PEOPLE, BUT FOR ME IT IS THE LIFE I CHOOSE TO LIVE AND TODAY WAS JUST A SLIGHT REMINDER WHY I LOVE TO TRAIN HORSES. GOING OUT TO THE BARN IS MY TIME AND TONIGHT WAS EXTRA SPECIAL BECAUSE MJ IS REALLY COMING ALONG VERY WELL . BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE EVER HOPED. I SADDLED HER UP AND WORKED HER A LITTLE BIT THAN I PUT SADDLE BAGS ON HER TO HELP DESENSITIZE HER BACK END. AT FIRST WHEN THEY TOUCHED HER FLANKS SHE HUMPED UP, BUT I JUST TALKED TO HER AND SHE TOOK A DEEP BREATH. I MOVED HER AROUND A LITTLE BIT AND SHE DID GOOD SO I DECIDED TO LUNGE HER, SO OFF WE WENT. WALK TROT LOPE (YEAH SHE EVEN LOPED FOR MR TONIGHT) BOTH DIRECTIONS. SHE DID AWESOME I AM SO PROUD OF HER. AFTER ALL THAT SHE EVEN LET ME LAY ACROSS HER SADDLE. EXCITING!!! I UNTACKED HER AND PUT HER BLANKET ON AND YES HER HOOD TOO. ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I LOVE TO TRAIN HORSES.
