Gma Kathy, Jesse the reiner, and I made a trip up to MD to see Fancy today! Traffic was a breeze and the weather was great! It's been almost 90 days since we brought her up to Bob Laportas for training. We arrived to find Julian riding another horse, so we made our way to the track to watch Bob, his assistant trainers (Wayne, Billy, Stephanie), and several of his clients working their horses and getting them prepared for a show this coming weekend...
When Julian finally came back with Fancy, I could not be more happy...she has come a long way since our last visit...Julian has her looking very nice...he warned her up a little at the jog...
Then loped several circles in both directions...she is moving forward so nicely...her lope transition is looking great!
He's doing a lot of suppling and backing and that seems to be suiting her well...
She had a great ride overall....I didn't notice any crankiness or silliness at all! She just came out, did her job, and is still sweet as ever....I love this horse :)
We tagged along with the crew for lunch after all the horses were put away...what a fun group! I look forward to many more visits, and getting to ride Fancy myself in the near future...stay tuned for more updates!
Here's some video of Fancy loping:
Here's some video of her getting started on turns too:
Happy Trails!
