Welcome all of you new trainers, it is great seeing everyone's progress.
Kirstin is trying to pony Tuff. Trigger the horse she is using is normally a very laid back type of horse, but he is extremely jealous of the amount of time that Tuff gets with Kirstin. He didn't like having to pony Tuff. He kept swinging his hip at him and Tuff didn't help because he kept trying to chew on Triggers saddle pad. By the end, they both figured they better behave because Kirstin wasn't giving in to either of them.

Then Kirstin trotted Tuff through some of the obstacles that she set up. He is doing really well at the trot at a lead. Last year that was the biggest problem that she had with her yearlings.

Tuff is starting to really get the back. Here he is backing through a small opening.

Still working on the bow. Tuff did this very early on, but since then he isn't real keen on going down into a bow. Kirstin is determined to accomplish this before she gets to Ft Worth. Everyday I watch these two, I am more and more impressed. Tuff is such an easy going guy and loves to be with people.
