April 30, 2009

Tonight the stables were very active. There are now two (2) sets of lessons each Thursday (5:30 p.m. & 6:30 p.m.).

LBR met us at the paddock gate and we led to the roundpen for grooming and work. He was amazingly responsive. Working both directions and responding to verbal commands on the first attempt. He walked/trotted/whoa'd both directions perfectly and cantered counterclockwise nicely/calmly (we didn't attempt clockwise as we wanted to keep it positive tonight).

We headed to the "packed" grooming area and LBR behaved well with horses in both adjacent grooming stalls.

We ended with leading back to the paddock w/out incident. His round-hay-bale rack had been moved so he will be getting fresh hay in the next couple of days.
