    Kita made her last few trail rides with us this past weekend!  She did awesome!  She truly is a different horse.  Her owners came to watch her trail ride Sunday, she didn't let us down!  They were happy with her riding!  She's gone home now with a new outlook on life!  The links below have some pictures of her rides this weekend! 

    Well, she made her first trip in the real world!  She did great!  Kita is very alert, and pays attention to everything!  She rode thru mud, water, culverts, even stepped over a log!  Although she was a little nervous, with a little gentle persuasion she rode everywhere.  The whole ride was fairly non-eventful!   By the end of the ride, she was getting relaxed.  She didn't really like Buddy the dog, but she'll get over that!  She did great! We're so proud of her!

 

 

     Kita did great today for the farrier!  Well, sorry to say no new pictures again.  We've been waiting for shoes to take her out riding, we've been riding inside.  Now with her new wheels, she's ready to roll!  Check back soon, she's doing great!  I still can't believe how her attitude is changed! 

Well, another great day!  Kita did great!  She had a short workout today, only 1 hour instead of 5!!!  We are all really proud of her!  Not sure why she's so darn bull headed, but that is starting to change!  Somewhere under her thick skull is a great loveable horse!  Slowly but surely we are seeing more and more progress!  With warmer weather this weekend, we'll riding!  Check back for more pictures!

    Wow!  That's all I can really say right now!  After a very tough week, she finally rode.  Every once in a while life throws you a challenge, well here it is!  Kita is a very head strong horse.  But today it finally happened!  She lunged!  For most this may seem like no big deal, but to us and her owners, it is.  The first time Rod tried lunging her, she basically attacked him.  It's taken Rod over a week of constant ground work to finally break thru with this horse.  It was amazing to watch as she finally made the connection to what she was expected to do.   The first time she made a full circle around the round pen, we were all ecstatic!   I was actually able to ride her!  Here are a few pictures!    She even got her first bath today! 

    Maybe, just maybe, in that thick stubborn head of Kita's is a great horse just waiting to be found.  I sure hope so!  More to come...... 

    Kita needs a few more days to get settled in!  After seeing her parents last night, she's doing better and a little more at ease.  She's going to be a challenge!  Kita requires a lot of patience and understanding, she's a nervous horse.  The move from her home to our barn has her shook up.  Rod's been working on  her ground manners and is seeing slow progress, but progress it is!  More to come, and pictures too!
