He goes over a ditch and a log and a cross rail…
The past week since we’ve moved to the new barn has been amazing. The difference it has made to have someone ride out with is unmeasurable. Woody has settled nicely and seems to really enjoy his new home. Yesterday I went out and rode by myself and he jumped a cross rail, and rode to the end of the drive by himself. He’s just SO much fun to ride.
Now I could write a long narrative about how cute Woody is, or I could show you! Allie was nice enough to take some videos of Woody’s first log and ditch attempt. I think the best part of the videos is that they are framed by the ears of the most Amazing Phinny.
Woody and the Fisher Price My First Log.
This is ridiculous. I just wanted Woody to walk up to the log… he (apparently) wanted to scramble over it. We came at it again, and although we were lacking impulsion and even a modicum of finesse he walked over it.
The grand Finale! The ditch to the log. I honestly don’t think I have smiled like this since my last trail ride on Ozzy.
So there he is. I can’t say enough good things about the little man. He has SUCH a good mind and is so willing to try to do what you ask, so long as you give him a chance to figure it out, he’ll try to give you what you ask. I’m even more smitten… he’s just SUCH a good boy.
More updates later 🙂
What a good boy! Isn’t it the best feeling in the world to be a part of teaching them new things. I am so happy for you both and jealous of that gorgeous farm you get to ride at everyday!
