Training

Posted by Susan Russell on March 13, 2010 at 2:40 PM

We've been trying to get out and train more now that winter is leaving us and the lambs are on the ground.  We've just starting steadying Jack and Hope and both are doing really well.  We've been trying some new techniques that our friend Shirley Nilsson showed us and they've been working nicely to keep attitudes positive.  Candy is still running well, but needs a bit more time to mature prior to asking too much control of her!:D  Raisin has the opportunity to show off from time to time and though she has certianly earned retirement, she is not ready, so we plan to run her from time to time just so she can have some fun!

 

I got out and rode Rojo the other day, and he was his usual wonderful self after a winter of rest.  Aiko the mule is coming along well in her early work to be my next trial animal.  Little Rico at nearly a year old is also learning his early lessons well.  Rita could use some work...hopefully I can find some time.  Old mule Dylan is pretty much retired...

 

See you at the trials...
