Another great day today! Warm n sunny but still that crispness in the air, really nice. Started off early feeding horses and cattle, cleaning out the stalls and the regular morning chores. Ida, Annelie and Sofia took a morning ride/drive on Elton, Ritzy and Sofias horse Max. I got busy wrapping up the chores and then helping a lady with her horse. She's had some trouble with bucking issues so I rode him for a bit and later helped with some loading training. Turned out the heiffers in the little pasture by the arena today and they went jumping and hopping around there like crazy, pretty fun to watch.
Next up was Eros. Our second go out in the arena. Worked him there yesterday too for a bit. Ida borrowed old Avenir from Annelie and also rode in the arena.
Eros did really good too.
Super nice and responsive considering he's new to the arena, ghusting wind and another horse in there with him. Had to tie his tail up as it's really thick and long and he steps on it if I dont. He did super as stated and is really coming along good.
Eros has been here for a month today and I've only rode him maybe 8-9 times or so. First couple of weeks we dedicated to ground work and building some sort of a foundation.
Avenir and Ida looked great together! He's a great ol horse that really takes care of his rider. He's 25 years old and an ex racehorse Annelies had in her care for 23 years now. Ida looked pretty cute ontop with her feet barely beneath the saddle!
Our friend Styrbjörn is entered up in the NCHA Super Stakes Classic on March 24th! I believe he'll be the first Swede horseback in the Will Rogers Memorial Arena, pretty cool. I'll be flying over to Fort Worth on March 19 and follow his progress aswell as check out a couple of ranches and their yearlings while I'm at it.
