I'm glad to see more yearling trainers contributing to this blog!Shelby and I have come a long way, despite my sprained ankle. She backs through obstacles, works around cones, fly sprays, bathes, lets me pick up her feet, (she'll be getting her first trim tomorrow) trots alongside me, trailers well and best of all, doesn't seem bothered by anything new. We've worked around umbrellas, ropes, small children and other horses without anything more than a snort. She's so prissy and then snorts like an old man! After the dr. appt. today, I'll hopefully be back in the arena with her. My biggest concern at this point is how she'll react with a lot of people and noise around her, so tomorrow night we're headed to a team sorting where she'll be exposed to all of this. I'll keep you posted!
