\"Why<\/a><\/div>\n

I told Lucky Star we needed to get a good picture as I had not put his picture up on Facebook for a while. Then I had to explain Facebook. I explained that he had fans. I explained that his fans were following his progress on this blog.
\nWell, Lucky Star wants his own Facebook page so he can tell the truth about how he’s coming along. He’s afraid I might not tell everything.<\/p>\n

sigh…who am I to deny “Mr. Cuteness” anything.<\/p>\n

We played in the small outdoor arena at Pine Dell today.\u00a0 I had a whole new impulsive Lucky Star. He cantered around the arena without much asking on my part.\u00a0 He has a wonderful canter.\u00a0 He might have been a little bothered by the stirrups banging on him.\u00a0 He carried his head low most of the time like he was thinking about a new career as a rodeo star..not the cow horse or barrel horse kind, either.\u00a0 He wasn’t thinking of me being a rodeo queen either.<\/p>\n

We practiced him coming up to pick me up on the mounting block.\u00a0 He’s great on one side and it took lot’s of convincing him to not to swing his body out on the other side.<\/p>\n

Then I tried to bridle him.\u00a0 He’s been started, but he was not a fan of the bridle today.\u00a0 So he got to wear the 6′ rope Cherokee bridle for most of today. At the end of the day, we practiced yielding his head down and keeping it close to the ground.\u00a0 He was not a fan of that either. Finally, things were fixed.\u00a0 I put the snaffle bit on and he wore that for about 20 minutes.\u00a0 He had a fine time experimenting with where his tongue should go..above or under the bit.<\/p>\n

Finally, we went back to the trailer just as all the pasture horses were being brought in to be fed.\u00a0 The ones not picked galloped around for a while. That made Lucky Star just a little anxious, so we played the backing game until his attention was diverted to\u00a0 me.<\/p>\n

Both of us expended some energy today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
