Aria like most school kids said, I’m having a good time here at home, don’t wanna go to school. She informed me she really didn’t want to get in the trailer. She did drama girl as we went toward the trailer. Shai2 was screaming take me, take me or probably bring her to me. It was hard to tell. He loves to go in the trailer. Aria was very reluctant to lead and I was thinking about locating a whip to encourage her. But as she lined up the back of the trailer, she suddenly got this funny look on her face. She looked at me and just walked right in the trailer. Woweee, Joe’s training has worked, not that she has ever been horrible to load. Joe spends time teaching them to load in the trailer and to be quiet in the trailer.
Off to school, she went. We arrived and she knew where she was even though Ike had rearranged the fences. She was happy to be back in her stall. Aria remembered all her training. No lapses of memories. I think she was happy to be doing interesting things again. She’s getting her first set of shoes this week.
I went over on Sat. to watch her gallop. The man who has done all her under saddle work was not there so a new man was going to gallop her. She felt good and was sassy, but not naughty. This was the first time, she had been ridden by someone new. They went out to the track and around they went. I’ve included a few photos of her at the beginning of her work. She was huffing and puffing by the end of her gallop. But she worked through tired and did it. She will be learning how to swim soon.
