I don't know if everyone else is having problems uploading pictures or not, but I did. Kirstin and Tuff were very busy this weekend. It started out Friday evening with Tuff taking his first real trailer ride since bringing him home. We loaded him up with our trusty old gelding Trigger and off they went to Kirstin's drill team practice. It's about an hour long ride and Tuff was a champ. Kirstin didn't get to work with him there, but he stayed in a pen and took the numerous horses and kids carrying flags really well. He then loaded up in the dark(which Kirstin hasn't practiced) with no problems and made the hour long trip back home with no problems.
Saturday, Kirstin decided to reintroduce Tuff to the tarp. She had tried early on in training but Tuff didn't like it being up in the air. This time was different, he not only accepted the tarp flying around him, but he also wore the tarp like a cape with no issues at all.
Sunday, Kirstin decided to introduce him to the saddle. He won't be ready to ride for quite some time, but Kirstin likes to introduce as much as possible. He wasn't too sure about the saddle at first, but Kirstin took her time, let tuff chase(so to speak) the saddle for a little while and then put it on his back, cinched it up without any problems what so ever.
Earlier in the day on Sunday, Kirstin & her dad made a podium for Kirstin to add to her training aides. She has it painted and now all she has to do is add a rubber mat on the top and she will be ready to use it. Hopefully, Tuff will take to that as easily as he has everything else.

I tried posting pictures here, but they won't load. They are posted on her blogspot so if you would like to see this amazing little guy go to:
