Earlier this week, Nicole called to ask if I would let her move "Hunter"  over to the area indoor arena, so she could work on faster gaits. I always love having horses at Virgil's place, the atmosphere is great there, so I readily agreed. Hunter has only been in training with Nicole, a little over a week now. They are doing well under saddle at the walk and the trot. Nicole will spend some more time working on the canter from the ground, then the canter under saddle. I am pleased with his progress, and his "every day is a good day" attitude. Dealing with mares and a stallion here, a non hormonal gelding is a nice change for me. Hunter is coming along nicely. He stands so quiet to be mounted. That is rule we have around here. Did you know that 75% of riding accidents happen on the mount or dismount?  Here is Hunter and Nichole, enjoying a bit of outside time at the end of their workday. enjoy!
An nice relaxed little ride, a reward for a job well done.
