Ruger is learning what a snaffle is all about and coming along nicely. We put the bridle on like a pro and we know how to lead from it now. It helps when horses are smart when you are training them! She didn't enjoy backing up (remember those holes I was talking about being left unfilled? our backing is the grand canyon of holes) so I bought two new long lines and attempted to drive her backward in the round pen.
nope.
having someone walk in front of her with a tarp.
nope.
backing her like i do in a showmanship class .
bingo!
she will get it eventually. I have some tricks up my sleeve for when I ride her in the snaffle to get her to back, but on the ground frustrates me.

Kristy Reed has a brilliant idea and I want to be in on it 110%. She wants to create a club that puts on 5 to 6 shows for MUSTANGS ONLY with daily highpoint and year end awards. (I think it should be a BLM branded, or offspring of BLM branded mustang show only cause your going to get grade horses whos owners will claim "mustang" just to show.)
How friggin sweet is that?? I want to get it started NOW! :) Please chime in if you know how to get one of these clubs started and what is needed!
