Ty got Nikki cleaned up and Chase even decided to ride (he has until May 1st to figure things our or his pony will be on CL). I did a bit of GW w/Abby since it has been a while since she's been ridden. She was full of P & V! All of the kids mounted up and rode around the pasture while Cat and I headed to the rp.
Cat..........oh my sweet Cat........she is soooooo much like her mother! She's also been on vacation way too long. She decided the rp = run 100 mph, kick, buck, & fart. Needless to say I had a few things to say about that.
While I was having a come to Jesus meeting w/Cat I noticed Chase had picked up the flags from the arena (the one's I had used to desensitize Cat) and was carrying them around on Abby. I swear that pony will do anything for him. Nikki pulled out her "shake" trick and Ty ended up on the ground. His pride was hurt more then he was but he got back on.
Cat is fat and out of shape so it didn't take her long to run out of air. Once she finally decided running wasn't any fun I ran her a bit longer and then let her come in. She was lathered in sweat and had her head hanging in submission.
My new headstall
I decided to end the session with a slow, quiet ride in the rp. Cat was pretty willing to let that happen. ;)
I've had two full pain free rides! Woo hoo! I'm so ready to hit the trails but I also know I have to prepare Cat even more then I normally would as I don't think my body can react as fast as it used to.

What does Chase have to figure out? Sounds like he has the 99 cent flags figured out.
Good to hear everyone is getting some work and that the hip is holding up.
Beautiful headstall. Is that DUH?
If Chase doesn't "get w/it" and start riding or taking care of his pony she's going down the road. He has until May 1st to prove to me he wants to keep her. I can't justify paying feed/vet bills, etc.if he's only gonna ride once or twice a year.
Thanks. Nope, it is a Weaver.
