D-Day

Today was the imfamous d-day... deworming day! Man, Rowdy is as hard to deworm as he is to bridle, but luckily he's rather short and can't get his head too high. Dancer and Little Bit (my first two horses) were little angels compared to Rowdy haha. I was warned to not paste deworm Hot Shot due to the fact that he doesn't like it and can really get his head up there. I didn't want to wage a battle with him over that yet, so I bought these neat pellets you can feed them and it's just like paste deworming. One of these days I'm gonna get out the camera and get some good shots of both horses so I can keep track of their condition. I'm also waiting on a blanket for Hot Shot, I ordered it a while ago, but there were some issues with the order... It should ship in a few days...

1st outing!

Ha, I'm going to have to get my blogging muscles back into shape with this blog :P Well, Kody decided he wanted to ride Rowdy a few days ago. Now when we went to test ride these guys, Rowdy had a hackamore (bitless bridle). I didn't get any of the tack that belonged with them, so I just used Little Bit's bridle on him that has a double jointed loose ring snaffle. I've gotta say, now I know why he was in a hackamore.... He was quite the pain in the behind to get bridled, but once he was he reacted to a bit just fine, so that was good. While Kody rode, I lunged Hot Shot in side reins. He was pretty good, but I didn't take the reins too tight yet. He canters much better on one side than the other, but I forgot which one :P
