Back to work

Well, it's back to work after the holiday's. Got a whole bunch done with the horses and I'm more than pleased with them. This little gal is Polly or La Flor del Viento as she's registered, just turned 2 and she's a great little filly. She's tough as nails though and I actually had to lay her down the other day after she tried to bite my head off! I was reaching under her belly for the blanket girth, (something we only do twice a day!), when she just lashed out and took a bite. Fortunately she didn´t get a hold and I only got a bump as a result. I got her haltered and got hold of a front leg, laid her down and sat on her for 10 minutes or so. She was a darling when I let her back up though. She's been saddled a couple of times and is really smart and easy to handle, like all of her mamas babies have been.

Kick The Cat has been hard at work on the cutting machine and the cows. She's coming along as planned and is calming down too. She's been alittle high strung, anxious and nerveous but the last couple of day's she's been great.

She really takes to cowwork and we'll se how far we can go.

Today the Abilene Spectacular kicks off. Most horses from last months NCHA Futurity finals are entered. Missing are Champion Oh Miss Caroline & Res.Champ Jewel Bars Cat. Some of my favorites include Bill Riddle & Heza High Stylin Cat, Cinca de Maya & Wes Galyean, Jae Bar One Time & Michael Cooper and Hottish with Lloyd Cox in the saddle. The latter is a personal favorite with a ton of potential. He just gotta clean up alittle and not overreact as much, wich puts him out of possition at times. I believe he's one of the most athletic horses in the field though.
