Murphy did well this week, we rode mostly in the arena, and worked on steering exercises, vertical flexion, stopping, backing, etc (nothing extreme mind you...).
My makeover mustang is coming along nicely and is learning fast. I had the farrier come and do his feet on Friday and we took a trip to the vet again that afternoon.
Murphy took it all in stride. He was a little nervous with the farrier, but John does such a good job and helps the horses to really relax. He’s one of the best farrier’s we’ve ever had when it comes to working with young horses.This week I also ran Murphy through the obstacle course again just to see what he would do, and he was really good. His leading is getting better and he doesn’t shy at things as much as he did. He will take a look at things first and then just follow my direction. Grooming, clipping, saddling and your everyday things are just normal to him now. I never thought this day would come. Ha ha
