Coming along

I have started Casey with long line work as she has finally put on enough weight to not look so dang thin. I say thin because a few days ago I went to help out a friend with a horse that is skinny. As in every damn bone in the body showing skinny. There's a difference and skinny horses seem to show up at her door a lot lately. 

I mean look at those curves. 

I used to do a lot of our ground work in the stall but it was time to move up to tying and working on lifting the hind legs more.

Plus Casey needs to be seen more. Who doesn't like looking at a cute pony, am I right? 

She's an honest little horse and sure we've had a few little bobbles in long lines as she figured things out, but she figured it out and moved on. 

Lots of reach in her stride

Bell boots for life

I'm currently using a D-ring snaffle on her but I may be switching it up to a French link or a thicker mouthpiece on a ring snaffle. 

She does actually have 3rd gear

Finding what works with each horse can be a game of guesswork or it all comes together in the first try.

Coming to a stop and she was actually starting to slide.  So far she's just a fun little filly.
