On Their Way

Almost 300 Bibles were sent out today, they are on their way to Maryland, Kansas, Florida and Texas. Once that was done Walmart was next on the list where fresh crunchy vegetables were purchased along with chicken breast for a stir fry dinner planned for Sunday. Once back at the farm Bunni, Sally and Holly were all teased with none of them showing. Steven Marchal arrived to get the boys ready for their training session. Rhoda showed up just as he was starting and got a great lesson on Evan and Valiant. Steven rode Evan first then Rhoda popped on.

Then it was time to work on tricks, below is Steven asking for the Spanish Walk from Evan.

Then Rhoda asked Evan to bow, lay down and get back up.

Next both boys were worked together Steven on Valiant and Rhoda on Evan.

Above is Steven working Valiant. Steven had Rhoda ride Valiant next while he gave her pointers from Evan's back.

It was actually great training for Evan to have to stand quietly while Valiant was worked.

By the time the kids were done with the boys the camera card was full. Rhoda loaded up Ciera and Bonnie pony, drove them to Jubilee state park for a trail ride. She reported both were excellent on the trails. She started with riding Bonnie and ponying Ciera, but that didn't work too well, Bonnie was a bit spooky. Then Ciera led while she ponied Bonnie and that worked great. She switched a bit later and did a lot of canter work on Bonnie. By that time Bonnie was great. At the end she rode Ciera and just left Bonnie loose knowing there was no way Bonnie would be left behind. What great training. After dinner Rachel & Dave brought Sandy over to be covered by Valiant. Rhoda arrived back from Jubilee, put the 2 mares away and got Holly out. She worked on tying her, grooming her, asking her to walk on the bridge and even put a saddle pad on her.
