Two Days At A Time!

Success! Yesterday and today I worked Rev on the lunge again. Both days he wore a surcingle and I plan to incorporate side reins soon. I don't want to use them tight or to get a frame really. They will be more to give him something new to think about until we can do less boring crap.

Been Workin'

We have been working weather permitting. The thrush is almost completely resolved (actually it rained and was generally crappy for the last week so we will see where that leaves us). I trimmed Rev a week ago and things are looking really good. That toe is coming back and  I'm getting those heels in order. He's been moving great. One of the big things I've noticed since the last trim is he seems to be standing very square. When he's doing the standing around portion of his day he is pertectly square. So I guess that's probably good...

Ignore belly bulge. He's working on it but still a little sensitive about it.

Catch Up!

 So I need to do a little catch up I suppose. No there aren't pictures. I was mostly concerned with not dying... No seriously I am horrible about photo documenting anything. I have plans to take some pics tomorrow. Now for the happenings of the last few days. I would also like to point out that it has apparently been over a year and a half since I've had a saddle on Rev according to The Husband and he is right...

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!!!
