Well it has been awhile since I have worked with Zippity, due to how cold it has been and how muddy her corral is. I worked with her today it is 40 degrees right now. and the corral is starting to dry out again. I was a little nervous to work with Zippity since it has been a while and she is so much bigger. I was able to put the halter on her with out to much trouble, I was very grateful for that.
I brushed her off and got her mane nice and pretty looking. She was being really great. I then got out the bare back pad and put it on her and she didn't mind at all, I then used the saddle blanket and then the tarp. The tarp she got a little nervous with so I worked with that one a lot longer then the other two. I was able to lead her around with not to much problems. I think it would be nice to have a trainer come out her and watch me with Zippity and tell me what I need to work on, and how to handle her better. I will have to start to talk to people and see if anyone knows someone that can take the time and come out here and show me what I need to do.
I hope now that the weather is getting better I will be able to get outside more and work with her. I really hope to show her this summer, I don't really care if we don't place I just want to try it out.
