Yeah - the thread's been quiet the last few days, I've been gone all day, workin' on cleaning and prepping the beach house... wedding in three weeks!
Poured rain today, reportedly there was actually a little tornado that touched down not far from here!
Best news is that I figured out how to make him be still while mounting out of the round pen. Backing up and walking back around not getting it. Each time I got off the block and walked him away and made him lunge in short circles with the lead rope. (he hates circles) Each time slowed him down but wearing me out too. I was praying I was going to have the endurance to finish. Finally , he's so tired he's tripping and I'm so tired I don't know if I can try once more. He stood drooping and I crawled on:') Next trailor loading and I'm all set!
Yall have a good holiday. I'll be back lurking Tue (going to the lake).
