Steps forward

We have two workouts in so far. Casey is learning to go both directions, verbal cues for everything and showing what she's all about.

With Mazy I learned it is easier and better to take short videos and go back later- frame by frame, screenshot the good bits and look on in amazement. 

She already has nice movement and you can see bell boots are in order... They're coming. Just waiting for everything to show up. The other night I told her that boots are a way of life from here on out. 

She is really pushing off from behind here and looks like she may actually lope but doesn't. She has yet to go any faster than a trot and its not even a fast trot. I'm fine with that.

And one day her front legs will no longer look like they both come out of the same hole. 

I ramped up her feed to some complete alfalfa pellets, grain and plenty of hay. That will help put weight on her and give her energy to build muscle. She also gets some Manna Pro to help add energy without her being psycho and amped all the time.

Worming the other night was a chore. Lord knows how things were done before and it was a bit of a shitshow but we got thru it. Was only going to give her half but the thing spun and the whole dose was used. Should make sure everything is cleared out at least. 

She has also been fitted for a blanket and when she grows out of hers this year- a friend of mine has spoken for the hand me downs. Which will help cover the next size up...
