Roads ahead

     Things have been just going steady as can be.  Kylie and I switched out and started trail riding and Heidi has really blossomed into the mare I always wanted.  We've gone to riding without a crop or spurs or anything.  We can canter or trot out in the open fields and we're both relaxed.  Eventually I may invest in a western saddle and do both.  I also talked to Michael and he's going to check into a friend of his that may have a harness for me that I can either do payments on or he might give it to me. Here's for hoping.
     Willow's been training really well.  We take 20-30 minutes of our lunch break to go out and walk.  We did really good and for the first time I made her work with distractions and it worked!  She did get up on a long sit and I was able to correct her.  She's always been perfect about it and it's hard to keep making her go forward  when there is nothing there to go forward with.  I hate waiting for her to screw up to correct and more forward.  I'm hoping eventually we'll be able to go with Mikey over lunch with one of his Pits so he can keep working.
     My bunnies are going to sell out and then I am going to keep my retirees and eventually colonize them all together.  Athena, Connie, Natalie and Clover will join them eventually.  Athena's not that old but she's been so abused by the other doe that I don't want her to get roughed around.
