Momma visits Granite at 'Summer Camp' for the last time...
I finally made my way to King, NC yesterday after work to visit my baby boy for the third and final time at training. His month of training comes to an end next Monday. I am so proud of him. I sent a horse who was scared of the trailer. He now self-loads. I sent a horse terrified of fly spray. He now ground ties for it. I sent a horse who had never had a bath b/c he panicked... He is now shiny clean! He also puts his head down, moves his haunches, w-t-c on the lunge. He does better going through gates and other small spaces and crosses creeks. Mainly, he has learned to think about situations before he reacts to them! I am so proud. Cynthia did a fabulous job with him. She has given him confidence in himself. She even took the time to work with me and help me to know how to direct my energy at him to get him to react the correct way. He moves to his new farm on Monday after work, so I need to begin preparing...

He's so cute!!! I hope my yearling will start growing manners like Granite!
ReplyDeleteI baby him entirely too much and I had a 1000lb hellian on my hands-- thus sending him to Cynthia. He spent a month just learning how to be relaxed and how to think like a horse and not a spaz! Good luck w/ your babes.
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable - it sounds like you have a very good trainer who's got both of you on the path to better things!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Is your trainer close enough to give you lessons when he comes home? I hope so! Don't you love to see progress!
