We have had a lot of moisture here in the Kansas City Chiefs Kingdom. We had rain and snow. If the ground is not frozen, it is mushy or muddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day 2 of Fancy\u2019s return to her fantastic boarding stable. She has switched turnout pastures and is now living with her famous half brother, Louie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I turned into the driveway seeking first sight of Fancy.\u00a0 Standing in a muddy area, I saw the golden gelding with frosty white mane and tail.\u00a0 There was not a speck of mud on his glorious golden body.\u00a0 Where was Fancy?\u00a0 My eyes found her and I gasped.\u00a0 Fancy was the same color as the mud she was laying in.\u00a0 She was laying in mud!\u00a0 Scream!\u00a0 I saw a few inches of her creamy hair.\u00a0 I saw massive amount of body covered mud.\u00a0 My thought about riding her today plunged into hopeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mission changed into liberty or online games. The day before, we had an excellent experience in our liberty games. Fancy is very special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We got to play at liberty and we ended up with her jumping over barrels at a canter. She runs to me from afar. She walks with me, her head next to my body. She does a large figure eight at a canter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we paused to rest after she did something fabulous, I brushed and combed the mud from where the saddle would sit.\u00a0 The wet mud was on her chest where the girth goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We worked on bridling. \u00a0 She is resistant to having a bit placed into her mouth.\u00a0 I use treats and patience to get the bit into her mouth.\u00a0 We did it twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heck. Fancy is ready to ride!\u00a0I beat the mud! I saddled her up.\u00a0 She stands in place now while I get the pad and then the saddle from her tack room.\u00a0 She no longer has to be tied if the saddle is near.\u00a0 We have worked on ground tying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The riding experience is coming along.\u00a0 We have not yet bonded in our riding relationship.\u00a0 She is a horse that needs daily riding to progress.\u00a0 The recent snow, rain and polar vortex cold hinder our riding relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m having a great time with Fancy! She makes me very happy.
