Sweet Wild Syringa

You are building the blocks of trust. Way to go. Walking around behind her is a HUGE moment! How did you keep from doing cartwheels while shooting off Roman Candles? Oh wait, I know......you're too durned old to do cartwheels and they were sold out of Roman Candles. I never could do a cartwheel myself, never.....just crumpled up in a heap.

Picking up her feet is another HUGE accomplishment! I think she likes you.

I am happy for you both. She has a fantastic home with you, put her on the phone and I'll tell her!

Hey, I could do cartwheels once! Ok, quit hyjacking thread.

I could do cartwheels too! And run and jump and do somersaults and... but Bays right, I'm too old and beat up these days.
But I can do other things.

I took Syringa for her first walk around the neighborhood on the gravel roads today.
It's a 2.5 mile loop and we encountered barking dogs rushing fences, horses loping across pastures to check us out, a barn under construction close to the road with nail guns in use and the scariest item - a flag on a twenty foot flagpole snapping in the breeze.
She was on alert and very aware of everything, but walked calmly along with me. So that's another good experience under our belt.

I love hearing about your training and the way you have a knack for horses. You have a natural talent. But that big ole eye is too much in my face! haha. Ok, I must admit she's a good looking horse.

Another major milestone. She is doing so good. You are blessed with that special way with animals and it shows in her trust in you.

Thanks for the compliment Mary and Bay, but I'm no horse whisperer.

I make plenty of mistakes, but am trying to be a good student of the horse, and understand the why behind the actions and reactions. Lots to learn yet.
