Random Thoughts on Future Endurance Gear:Saddle




He is always mugging this muck tub. It's completely destroyed as a bucket and we don't put anything in it but he just regularly raises hell on it. I will try to get a good video of him doing it. He does a quality levade(collected rear), a really high and crisp capriole(just google it), and then he will get down on his knees and fight the bucket like it's an offending stallion. All of this of course is interspersed with plenty of bucking and farting. He slings it around and mock charges it. Then usually he likes to chase BOB(my husbands mare) around with it. You don't get too close when he has his muck tub. He wants to play and he will very adeptly beat the shit out of you with it.

The Fat Pony Exercises:Rev Channels His Inner Lipizzaner Stallion


Rev finally did a little work. Not much but we have to start somewhere. This is his second time on a lunge line instead of "free" in the round pen, so it was interesting. He actually did really well. Maybe tomorrow We'll try it with a saddle. In the pictures where he is zooming note his eye. It's still very relaxed and unafraid he's just having some fun. Going back and looking through the pictures it's nice to see that his ear is still on me paying attention as he drags me around ha ha. His excitement was after some walk and trot in both directions and we cantered a few laps to the left. I asked for canter to the right and I think he just needed to get the zoomies out. Which is fine he tried so hard to be good. 


ZOMG!!!
