There is something to knowing that I am back home in Arkansas for a while. It’s great to be back at home, visiting family, eating the great food, but especially getting to work with my stock again. Pistol is cowarding at all of the new sights and sounds. Sometimes I think that dog is too timid for her own good. Then I have to remind myself she is still just a pup. After jumping from the bed of the pick-up twice last week, we are working on riding down the road. She got a lil work out today as we drove around and checked cows.
This mare does great on her bending, loping and changing leads, but has always been contrary with her side passes — probably something I should have worked harder on in training. But a great horse always remembers their training, and sometimes just needs to be reminded. So we took the opportunity of being at the auction barn to work on openning, going through, and closing sorting gates in the alleys.
