FRIDAY NIGHT WAS A TRAINERS NIGHTMARE SESSION. AT FIRST EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL , TACKED UP MJ AND LET HER CHILL IN THE INDOOR UNTIL I PUT A TRAINING HORSE AWAY WHICH WAS ABOUT TEN MINUTES. AS SOON AS A GOT BACK IN THE BARN I NEW THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE MJ WAS GOING TO TOWN IN THE INDOOR. I QUICKLY OPENED THE DOOR AND FOUND THE SADDLE ON HER SIDE WITH HER NOT DIGGING THAT TO MUCH NOT ONLY WAS THAT AN ISSUE BUT SHE SEEMED TO HAVE GOTTEN HER FOOT IN ONE OF THE STIRRUPS. OH SHIT WAS THE ONLY WORDS I COULD THINK OF AND SOON I FOUND MYSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF A FRANTIC HORSE TRYING TO CALM HER DOWN, IT TOOK I THINK TEN MINUTES WHICH SEEMED LIKE TEN HOURS, BUT SHE FINALLY STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO UNBUCKLE BOTH OF HER STRAPS TO LET THE SADDLE FALL TO THE GROUND AND WITH A LOT OF GODS HELP SHE BACKED RIGHT OUT OF THE STIRRUP (THANK GOD). THAN I LOOKED AT HER AND LOOKED AT THE SADDLE THAT WAS AMAZINGLY STILL IN ONE PIECE(A THANKS TO TIMBERLINE FOR MAKING ONE HELL OF A STRONG SADDLE) AND WE BOTH KNEW THAT THE SADDLE NEEDED TO GO BACK ON. SO TALKING TO HER CALMLY I HOISTED THE SADDLE BACK ON MJ AND DID ALL OVER AGAIN MINUS ALL THE ACTION- JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT. TODAY WAS ALOT NICER OF ADAY. WE WENT FOR A WALK AND WORKED ON DESENSITIZING . SHE LET ME LEAN OVER HER BACK WHILE SHE WAS BAREBACK AND THIS EVENING I ALSO GOT A BRIDLE ON HER WHICH AMAZINGLY WENT VERY WELL ACCORDING TO AN ONLOOKER, SHARON, WHO TOLD ME THAT I MADE THAT LOOK WAY TO EASY, WHERE IN FACT, I THINK I JUST GOT LUCKY!!! AND MJ FINALLY GOT A HAIR CUT TODAY WITH THE CLIPPERS AND SHE DID OK AS I MOVED CLOSER TO HER POLL SHE SHOOK HER HEAD A LOT SO I HAD TO FINISH HER BRIDLE PATH WITH THE SCISSORS. NOT SO BAD AFTER A DAY FROM HELL I AM JUST GLAD THAT HORSES ARE FORGIVING CREATURES. TOMORROW WE WILL BE POSTING NEW PICS, HOPEFULLY.
