Lots More Firsts

So sorry to be so long in writing an update. The days have been full and so...

Here is a list of the firsts that Cloud has accomplished in the last two weeks.

*Wore Breaching (harness for keeping the saddle from moving forward on extreme downhills)
*Ponied another horse (Frenchie, who kept trying to take the lead...)
*Climbed Mt Pisgah (not huge, but pretty much straight up and then straight down)
*Rode in the trailer with another horse
*Stayed in the trailer calmly for 1+ hours
*Had another rider on her, then another (Linda her owner!)
*Ate straight Molasses (well, then she put the bit in her mouth)
*Had a bit in her mouth
*Had reins on that bit
*Got pretty close to a loose cow ( and the cow left!)
*Stood tied without digging a hole
*Carried Saddle bags
*Played follow the rail (and took to it like fish in water)
*Cantered in an arena
*Helped me open and close a gate (ie, from the saddle)
*Left her buddies and rode home alone
*Knew the way home!
*Got home and wanted to keep going!
*Helped to pony a difficult horse!
*must be more, I just can't think of them now that I am making the list

Anyway, you can see by this list she is a super star and here are a few pictures to prove it.

Cloud the Superstar!

Linda n' Cloud, Emily n' Shaea, What were they looking at? Must be dinner...

Linda and Terra (on Toby) Terra was instrumental in me meeting Cloud, I am so lucky!

 

And finally, just so you can see what a great job Linda did bringing Cloud back to fantastic shape after her rescue...And Cloud's Friend Ruby...

Not a Pretty picture, she has gotten whiter!

Sweet Ruby

The first ride on Ruby after two years, she is going to be a fine trail horse we think!

I will try not to be away so long next time. Cloud and I will be spending time in some arenas getting more precise!
