Ergon is still takin it a little easy from his sore hooves. The beach helped them out alot. Soft ground and salt water. A perfect combination. Gonna start working on lead changes and more ground work next week. He is willing and ready!!

Ergon: BEFORE AND AFTER

No Fences

June 29, 2009

YeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me and Ergon went out today for the first time trail riding for about 2 hours. I had him walk, trotting and loping. NO FENCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worked on more desensitizing today, also. He had an issue with the tarp, walking over it wasn't the problem. When it would be flopping in the air he thought it was his worse nightmare coming true. I have a Mustang filly in the pasture with him, and I had the tarp laying around. She grabbed it with her mouth and ran straight for him, flopped it right on his back. At least I had a good foundation on him. LOL!!!!!!!

Ergon trailer loading and desensitizing

June 22, 2009

Here we are using what comes natural to the Rio Grande Valley, a palm tree leaf to desensitize him. Just as good as a plastic bag. We also tried out the trailer loading and unloading and he did it like a pro.

First time putting on the saddle pad for about 10 minutes and then I put on the saddle. He took it really well. I didn't know what to expect. I haven't cinched it on yet at this point.
