OK, so My Birthday is tomorrow, and for my Bday I bought used but like new theraflex pad. (English) and I try ed it out and Blaze made sorta a change, (I don't have shims yet) but today I took one of our old pads that was falling apart, and but it like were the shims would be. Got Blaze ready on the ground, then got on. and Blaze was doing Great at the walk! and when I asked for the trot he didn't go fast!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!! and when I asked for the canter it was nice and slow!!! Finally!! and when I stopped he started to blow. lick and chew etc. but, I loved it!! I wish I would have got a theraflex pad a long time ago. but I still can't wait to get some shims (ordering tomorrow)

and yesterday was Great, we went to eagles landing church. (Mark Halls church) (casting crowns singer) and they had one Guy from the Army there, and he told his testimony, which was obviously amazing, and has done so much for the army, I can't remember his name but I'll ask later what it was. but also we saw allot of family that we haven't seen in YEARS!!! and went out to eat. and had a great time. and my uncle and his daughter came to our house. and of course wanted to see me and Blaze, so him and me showed them some stuff and Blaze was Great!!!

Pictures of the Playday

Well I had one very Fun Day!!

first off, Jennifer found me on the Savvy club fourm, and she only lives 12 miles away from us, and she teaches lessons, and parelli, anyways, she said I could come over and bring blaze, and also she is the one that I am going to one of her camps she is haveing next month,

anyway, we were half way there, we turned at a stop sign, and right about when we hit 20, the trailer just droped to the ground, (blaze inside) and the hitch on my dads truck snaped in half!! and I'm like OMG!!!! OMG!!!! OMG!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!! My baby is in there!!!! :O and we pulled over real quick, and I jumped out as fast as I could, and I had a fealing that I shouldn't tie blaze to anything, so he was just so he could walk around in the trailer, anyway, I open the trailer door, and Blaze was ok, THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got him out, and then a lady that had horses pulled up, and asked if we needed any help, and my dad told her what happend, and she said well, you can use my truck, and after fitting everything she drove blaze over there for us, my dad said let me pay you, and she said no, WOW how I love horse people!! anyway, Jennifer was like wow when we told her, and Blaze was very RBE, that has been the first place he has been to in 2 years!! so me and jennifer started playing, and she has a BEAUTIFUL Halflinger!!! wow, You'll see pics once you go down, but anyway we had an amazing day!! I can't wait to go back

I Loved every min of it, watching Jennifer teach, I know that is what I wnat to do the rest of y life, is teach, and be a Parelli Professional, just to watch her teach was so amazing, I can't wait til I can teach one day, I sorta did that day, but I really mean just teahc!

Days go by

Wow, has it been a week, so, me and Blaze has been doing alto of cool stuff, yesterday, I played with the Question box, for the first time, and it was our first time because are footing stinks, so I started and I had a bridle on, and had a carrot stick, and I started at the walk, and he kept wanting to trot, so I would bend him to a stop, and after a while he started blowing, so I said OK! now lets trot, and first thing I started to trot he wanted to take off to the building, weel long story short, I had to shut him down like 30 times, lol! because I wanted him to listen to my body and not the reins, so he had his own idea, so after a while, I got him LB, and he started trotting slower, and blowing, licking chewing etc, and I did it for a while, and asked for the canter, and boy! just like the trot he had his own idea of, "hey I'll just bolt back to the building" so I had to keep shutting him down again. which it is sorta hard for him to have a nice slow canter, because the dang hills and footing are awful, but after a while he slowed down just a bit, and out of know were he got snotty and said, "I am going faster Ha!!" so I said, OK, this isn't going to well, so be for I get mad, and start thinking about the task, I better just "stop!" so I went in a round pen and just cantered a few laps, and he was implosive, I think, I got off and watched him canter around, and it looked like how he was cantering with me?




Could it be I'm just unconfined with him cantering? could that just be his natural canter, and I just think it's too fast, "hmmmmm how interesting!" maybe I am unconfident about it, but I do know sometimes for sure he canters to fast "sometimes" but I sat there with him, and he was like "treat"? and I said ok, But!" you only get the treat if you do something for me, and so, I put my hand up high and clucked, and he did a very high rear, (that is what I was asking for) and so he got his treat, and then I asked him to give me a kiss, and he did, so I just played around with alot of stuff, and I got him to back 1 lap, at liberty, (first time) with phase 1!!



so things are going well, my brothers, Girl Friend came to visit, and I let her ride him around, bareback, and just with a halter and lead, (lead tied as reins) and here I am about to have a heart attack, thinking, "please don't take off, please don't take off" and Nya, she is a "normal" hunter jumper, so she has him on a tight rein, and he luckily put up with her, and gave a nice soft feel, and when she got off she gave him a bog ol WACK on the neck, and Blaze looked Very mad at her for that, and I'm like thinking "AHHHHHHHHH DON'T HIT MY HORSE!" luckily kept my mouth shut, lol,and that was very hard to do,


but we had a great time, besides that,


Until next time
Keep it Natural
