Pretty as a Picture

Short on time lately so it seems, it's that blasted work that gets in the way. Between that, the weather,and low energy reserves due to a horrible summer cold, have not gotten much done.

Steven did take advantage of a sunny afternoon to longe Sage out in the back. As usual, he reported that she did much better one on one than when I showed up, with camera, to resume my stump sitting position.

She was doing quite well, so I snapped some pictures.





It's hard to believe she has been here a month already! She has learned SO much with minimal drama....good! She actually loped for Steven on the longe line, without the antics of head tossing, attempting to bolt, and pull away during this session. She got a bit distracted with a human stump sitter watching her every move, and I asked Steven to let me give it a try. Much to his delight ( he probably will not admit it) she was the same if not WORSE for me....So I handed her back over.

She has gained some weight in the last month. This picture makes her look like a real porker, but she's really not. Hay belly is diminishing with work, and her muscles are really starting to show....She actually has a bit of a chest starting....and with more work, it will only get better and better.



Now.....if only this cold would go away and the weather would cooperate!
