Saddle and Games






4-21 Great Day! Calypso sees my car and heads toward me. We walked to his pen together, I put his halter on and go to play. I put the saddle on him with just a slight hesitance on his part. Then we crossed the bridge, got up on the sand box, went over the teeter totter, down the steps and around the pinwheel. He does everything at a walk. It is quite a stretch because the steps are about 24" high. We went to the pond and he stood in it until I asked him to leave. We were doing so well, I decided to try the bushes and trees with low hanging limbs. Absolutely no problem.
When I asked him to trot and do a small jump, that was when he got scared and wanted to buck. I just calmed him down and all was well. I stood in the stirrup and leaned over him out in the open. He is so calm when he is calm, but loses it when he panics. We are working on that one. We finished off the day with an Equine Touch Session.
