Horsemanship for Abbi

Abbi attended four days of horsemanship classes.  She and Chief are quite the pair.  The first two days they did "Ground Work" ~ having control of your horse from the ground.  ie: catching, saddling, lunging, etc.  They also worked on Round Pen - getting your horse to run the speed and the direction you want him to with just body language.  Chief really follows Abbi's body and does whatever she asks.  Both quick learners.

Games played:  Musical Tires, Rock Race, Dollar Bill Hold Bareback, TP Hold with friend, and Soccer with 6 ft red ball.

Hudson went one day and was able to play in some of the games with their pony, Sugar.  He had a great time.

In the soccer game, Abbi is the one with the paint horse, white helmet and pink shirt.  The aggressive one!

Hi this is Aubrey. That looks really fun. I'd really like to get to know Abbi. Email mom (if you have her email address). She can give you my email.
