Changes

The reason I take so many pictures is because I have a terrible memory. Things change so fast, that it is easy for me to forget where I was 10 minutes ago, much less, 4 months ago. I was looking back at the pictures that Evan took when I was riding Tex for the first time and it is awesome to see how far he has come is such a short time.

Tex has been a true gentleman throughout this entire process. He has put up with trying new things, like bending, being ridden sidesaddle, trail riding, tarps, roping, dragging logs, packing kids, and so much more!

 

 He has learned that when other horses come up behind him he doesn't need to go faster, He has learned that contact on the bit doesn't mean go faster, he has learned that going from a trot to a canter doesn't mean go faster (there is a theme here).

 

 I don't know what kind of foundation that he had when he was started, but I do know that the previous training that he had taught him how to learn, gave him a work ethic and helped him become the willing partner that he is learning to become. To go from winning 109K on the track, to the horse he is now is just amazing to me. I am thrilled to be a part of his journey!
