Hot tubs, Horses and Fun!

DH dragged home a hot tub cover to use as a backstop for his arrows. He only needed 1/2 of it and I got tired of seeing it sit in our yard so I had him drag it out to the farm.

I decided to use it as a "scary object" for Cat so after working her some I took her over by it & did the sending exercise. First pass past it and she shot through like a rocket slightly shouldering in towards me. Second pass through she shot through like a rocket again.

Third pass and I get "oh hey, I'll bet if I look at it she'll leave me alone". lol

Fourth pass "Maybe if I stand on it? Yep! I KNEW this would work!"

"Oh hey, if two hooves are good four must be better!"

"Oh shit! It turned white!" (yep, there are two sides to ever hot tub cover.)

"Maybe if I just step on it again she will leave me alone?"

"Damn, works every time! I'm such a good human trainer."

Look - I taught her to count.



After the workout I decided to hop on. I hadn’t ridden for a while and thought a nice, calm bareback ride w/no expectations would be nice.  She was very good and very light in the halter.
