It's been a while we I
posted an update on Ms. Fancy-Pants! Life got a little busy there for a few months and all the while Fancy's reining education just kept plugging along.
Gma Kathy made the trip up to check in on the little lady a couple weeks ago and she's coming along great!
Julien returned back to Switzerland, but Billy has picked up where he left off and seems to have taken her to the next level. Billy is a bit more of an aggressive rider than was
Julien. She has really blossomed with the extra little bit that Billy expects of the horses he rides...she's got all the necessary moves now (stop, spin, lead change, spin, etc.), and it was great to learn she is in the bridle now. She was in the snaffle at our last visit. Here are a couple pics of Billy taking her for a spin...
She's growing up! She's really filled out and is very strong. Working 6 days a week for over a year does that! Speaking of being in training, I've decided to bring her home for a while. She's come along so well now and has a good grasp of all the basics. I want to give her a little break to just be a family horse and get some random mileage on her around the farm, on the trails, and at some local shows...I'm sure she's ready for the vacation and I'm ready to have a horse to putz around on!
Gma Kathy is headed up this weekend to get one final lesson on her and then haul her home for me...I can't leave the punks for that long at a time yet, but
Gma Kathy has promised to tape everything so I'll have some video to post next week...stay tuned!
Happy Trails,
Leah
