Color me pretty!











I love watching Zippity shed off her winter coat, and reviling what a beautiful horse she is. Her main and tail is full of hair and white as can be. Her tail is very long and might one day reach the ground. A lot of changes has happened not just with Zippity but with me as well.

Cindy came out to see how we were doing, I showed her how I can lunge her. I can get her to trot on command and stop. When I tell her to stop she STOPS, and then she faces me. Cindy told me that she has noticed that I am a lot more confidant with her, and can see the difference in me and in Zippity. When we were just standing and talking about what steps I would be taking next with Zippy, she just stood there very relaxed. Once in while she would paw at the ground but I would tell her to stop and she would. In August we will be introducing the bridle to Zippy, I look forward to see what she will do.












I would also like to share that dreams do come true, if you hold on to them long enough. You have all read how I always wanted Ginger and now I have her, that in itself is a dream come true. But another dream has been filled I have joined a riding club, the Salt Lake County Sheriff Pose. We will be doing drills and parades. This is my first riding club ever. I used to dream of joining a club with Ginger, and now its here. I am so excited to start this adventure. I will post pictures and keep you updated on how we do. I am really nervous I hope I do well.

  1. That is great news it sounds like you and her are really bonding.I'm glad you decided to train her because it sounds like she can be a really great horse someday.

    The parades sound pretty fun to go to. You should put some pics of up we need to see you in the parade! By the way don't let your horse kill any dogs =p

  2. Zippy really is getting more and more beautiful, Leah. It was great to see her the other day when we came over with Grandma. And so much fun to see you on Ginger in the South Jordan parade, too!
