The picture of Buckshot chasing his hay around is so sad and funny at the same time.Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383248353799801237.post-75031377834356090992011-02-22T08:04:37.622-05:002011-02-22T08:04:37.622-05:00We had that crazy wind too!

He is the best horse.<br /><br />I would like to teach my boys to sidepass near the gate, but our gate is attached to the electric fence. I turn the electric off to ride, but they are still scared of it (understandably). I have to use a crop and reach out to open the gate if I want to do that and I never carry a crop!<br /><br />Sounds like Buckshot is getting the idea of gates (and treats at gates!) and will be a good student for the next step.juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383248353799801237.post-21568581781490276292011-02-21T21:44:08.388-05:002011-02-21T21:44:08.388-05:00Buckshot is a great horse.

Funny I did a post on the wind we had today too.<br /><br />Glad you had such fun with your rides and are learning to work the gate. The figure eights sound like a good training lesson.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383248353799801237.post-38644457128883771112011-02-21T19:46:50.462-05:002011-02-21T19:46:50.462-05:00What a brave boy you had, to be calm in all that w...What a brave boy you had, to be calm in all that wind. I know what you mean about being more nervous than my horse - I'm always vervous when there's snow coming off the roof of the indoor, but Rogo is fine. It's a wonder I don't make him nervous.<br />It's so cute that he wanted to show you the downed trees :)<br />Glad you had such a great riding weekend despite the wind. Good luck with the gate opening training. I'll be looking forward to updates.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.com
