[Ag-eq] Jody's horses

hi Jody:

How are your horses settling in and what sort of adventures are you having with
them?

I haven't ridden my poor horse in almost a month, we've just done a little
ground work.  I'm trying to get him used to the sound of paper and plastic; he
doesn't like either one and will spook at the sound.  He also doesn't like fly
spray, so we are working on that too.

He has learned how to open almost every gate on the property, so now all the
gates have clips on them.  He's a very clever boy and I'm sure he's trying to
figure out how to get into the house.

On Sunday I will do another group lesson with him.  I'm sure we will work on
smooth turns and transitioning between his gaits.  I've got to start riding him
more, he's getting a little chubby and out of shape!

I look forward to hearing more about your ponies.

Nella
