Day Fifteen

These past two weeks have been very busy for Tina and I! She is a very smart girl and learning very quickly. I anticipate our first ride with in the week. We've been doing roundpen work and she is very quick to pick up on everything. We have also worked towards curing her pulling back problem. I am now able to bounce a large, green exercise ball off of her back and she will stand quietly tied. She's also okay with me swinging a rope around and over her now. We are going to play with tarps and cap guns tomorrow to desensitize her further. Another thing we plan to work on soon is trailering, as Tina wasn't quite comfortable with it on her initial haul up to my home. I have had a lot of friends over to meet Tini and everyone comments on how sweet and friendly she is. When I go out every day she races the other horses to the gate to say hello. I am absolutely in love with her personality.
