Update

Well nothing too exciting happening here, back to work tomorrow :(

Amy demolished her rug on friday, so had to go rug hunting on saturday, man that girl really knows how to spend my money!

She is also lame and has a small indent/swelling at the base of her neck, so think she may have pulled a muscle. Entry's for our next show close in a couple of days so will have to miss that too. 

Blondie was taken to Battle Hill today. He's going to spend the week there playing stock/pony club pony for norms granddaughter. Hehehe.

Taani is doing really well and the only one available to be ridden atm, so have decided since i cant take Amy to upper valley on the 24th i'll take Taani on a CTR ride on the 25th. So should be fun!

Blondie's new little riders

Over christmas mum has decided to start giving Ngarangi and Terina (her foster girls) more riding so we can get them out to some sports day over the end of this season.

They have had two rides and they have the best little positions, they can turn, stop, mount (from a mounting block), get their stirrups back when their foot drops, and pull his head up when he thinks about eating; all without being on a lead. It helps that blondie is happy to plod around the paddock and follow the leader. 

Today both girls managed some little trots on the lead and holding onto the saddle. Every ride they have to help groom and tack up. Mum and i are just amazed at how well they're doing and how sure of themselves they are. Already they boss each other and mum around, telling how it should be done and taking charge at every opportunity!

Here are some pics of today. (sorry about the poor quality they were taken on my cell phone.
