Boy, what a day… I took my human to a horsemanship clinic with Mark Rashid, so she could learn to be a better horseperson. There was a lot to do all day! I ate breakfast in the trailer. When we arrived I got my own corral, next to a very nice new friend. We played grabby face for an hour or so. He rears a lot, so I tried it some, too. Then I got brushed, and we went uphill to a roundpen. I ran around a little, and looked at everything, and then it was our turn to work with Mark.
Well this guy has some strange ideas, I’ll tell you. I kept bumping my human with my nose, and walking across in front of her, and he didn’t think that was OK! So he explained to me how to stand back, and stay there. It was easy, but it took me a while to figure out what to do. After that we worked with another trainer on turning this way and that.
When we were done, everyone left, and I went back to my corral. And then my new friend left, so no grabby face tonight. I whinnied a little… I hope he comes back tomorrow. My human fed me my hay and goodies and brushed me a little, and then left. She says we have another day of training tomorrow. She left me with a lot of extra hay, but I’ve already stomped a lot of it into the mud.
I’ll explain more after tomorrow. Right now I have to rest up from my big day!
