Won´t ever gripe again....(maybe)

Worked Brady both yesterday and today without any sign of the speed issue. Was a perfect gentleman the whole time. Worked the Highlands some today and he did great. As I´ve mentioned before, they have a lot of run in them. Now that the snows gone even more so. Pretty hard getting them in possition for a cut out in the pasture without any holders or help. Gotta move them around and wait for the set up to present itself. The chosen one hesitating for an instant, move in and block him from the rest. Anyway Brady was on his toes again and did really good. Only worked two head but he works them anyware. They might head up in the brush, over a ditch, in among the trees, he doesn´t care. Once he´s hooked to one he just goes crashing in there.

Yesterday we were at it in the two rein again. Just some basic manouvering at different speeds and gaits. No problems at all. Soft and responsive, felt really good.

Working on some fancy roping too. Got a whole lot of shots to "master" before heading over the pond this summer for the fiesta. I´m lucky nobody´s around though as the shots are not exaxtly shoolbook. My horse is the only witness and if he wants his grain he better stop laughing and keep quiet!!
