A Wonderful New Feeling!


Thing's have been Good, Melody and the Pony have been getting along. Princess is really not what i expected, she is very head shy, more head shy then I have officially thought. We have been working on that, and she's getting to the point where she will let me touch her all over, but she still flinches as if she's just waiting for me to hit her which has be wondering of her past. She is a terrible hard to catch type of pony, oh my god is it frustrating but she has been getting better. I have been using different techniques and i have found that actually following her around she will eventually stop running from me and stand still for me to clip the lead, I do believe she is beginning to realize i will not give up!

I had started riding Melody a month ago, this summer has been to hot so I gave riding her some more time of. But she is doing fantastic, the same good mare I had before having my son. There is some thing i myself as a rider need to work on, but my balance is good, i can ride with confidence and i no longer use my horn as a crutch to hold on while trotting/cantering. It feels great and i can't wait to start working her more this fall when things are cooler, my ultimate goal this fall and winter is to start riding twice and week maybe even three times a week if i can!

My son is getting so big, he's almost 7 months old and such a big boy. 19lbs 1oz, and 27 in long. He can wear 12m clothing, it's crazy how fast he has grown.

Starting fall classes tomorrow, not quite ready but to late to back out.

We also now have to official Barn cats, Tabby and Samantha!
