Well, Toffy is doing quite well. She is showing no sign of pain, and her wounds are healing nicely. She is also leading quite well. I am able to lead her around our back pen without any trouble at all. Today I will work on getting all the fillies to move their hindquarters, back up, and move their shoulders. And It will take me a while because Aleythia is currently on her way to Colorado for a camp that Youth For Christ goes to every year. She wanted to go when she heard that there would be horseback riding in the mountains.
Santana bucked me off yesterday. I did not get any serious injury, but I did get a bruise on the inside of my leg that hurts whenever I bend my knee. We think he bucked because he had a fly on his stomach. He was bucking even after he got me off. Usually when he bucks he stops after the rider is off.
Carter rode Ana yesterday too. A ten year old boy rode a horse that is really hard to slow down. She was very good. She still wanted to go fast, but she was stopping and standing there whenever he wanted her too. So, maybe the training pulled off. The reason Carter rode Ana, was because he was going to ride Santana, and he didn't like how Santana was acting. Spooking, and arching his neck defensively for no apparent reason. So, I got bucked off and he had a nice ride.
