Practicing those driving skills again

[Feather1414]

So I took my first official drive of the year yesterday. Just went down the roads and generally had a good time. He was very well behaved.

Today I tried to get pictures of the oh so well behaved horse and he wasn't going to behave. Towards the end he started to settle down, but he is throwing his head out on almost all the pics. I personally believe it was the wind, as it was fairly windy. Could also have been the other person standing in the field, but I have no idea.

This is just a general of how he is coming along. First show is May 3rd. He has a lot to learn and even more weight to lose.

Country pleasure here we come

I just thought this one looked cool

Now we are starting to listen

Congratulations on your first drive of the season

I'm very jealous cause I haven't been able to drive yet this season, hopefully soon

It looks like you have quite a nice place to drive

Great pictures! What a little fuzz ball, but I am sure you will have him in tip top shape in no time!!!

Oh I so want to be doing that but have to wait for the white stuff to go

Looking good!

Hey Jamie! I haven't talked to you in so long!

Anyway, Dealer is looking great for not being driven in a while! I am sure you will have him in shape in no time.. And I bet a lot of it is hair! My goodness, look at that beard.

All right, Jamie! Just look at that little patoot! He is lookin' fine! Great job with him!

You must be having a balmy spell there in CO to only be wearing a windbreaker.

Now you need to show the picture of when you finished the drive, and he rolled his sweaty, furry body in the mud!

You both look as though you having a great time. Good luck at your May show. I think those four white feet always look nice driving.

I only leave it on at first to make sure he cant get his head down enough to buck just in case. Never had a problem though.

I am training him to drive NATURALLY no checks, weighted boots, bungee cords.

Had an official driving lesson and him and I both are learning to get up in the bridle and its working!

Now that is what I call a beard!!!!

Isn't it great getting back in the cart after some time off? Good luck at your first show.
