Teter toter day. Well we finally got the bridge
built. So I thought lets just see how hard it is
going to be to train "Buddy" to cross
it. 1 second later he walked across it. I am not
even sure I asked him to. He just did it. Lets make
it tougher I say. We put a log under the bridge.
Not only did he not really care that the bridge
now moves, he even would shift his body weight on
command so that the bridge tipped back and forth.
This is too easy.

Buddy
was a little jealous of Ricky
Bobby, so I played with him a lot today as well.
He now will stand on the pedestal just by pointing
at it. We also did it from under saddle. Buddy is
a ham. My 2 year old niece came to visit Buddy.
He even let her ride him around the arena and jumped
the barrels and loped perfect circles with her and
did sliding stops and amazing roll backs.........
well she did set on his back for a minute.

I have been busy busy busy, haven't taken pictures
in a long time. Just been riding Ricky Bobby and
Buddy everyday. Just working through some things
with Buddy and teaching Ricky Bobby some new stuff.
Today was bridge day. Ricky Bobby didn't take to
it as fast as Buddy but we got it done. I was so
tired after word I layed down to take a nap but
Ricky Bobby wouldn't let me.

Today was a play day for Buddy. George played
with him at liberty while me and Ricky Bobby worked
on some ground work. George had buddy standing on
the pedestal, crossing the bridge, and jumping the
barrels. Best of all buddy did it just for the attention.

Buddy has an abscess in his hoof so it was all about
Ricky Bobby today.
He is doing great. After our ride we learned to
stand on the pedestal. Buddy got a little jealous
and squeezed in between us. He bullied Ricky off
the pedestal and got up their himself. What a goofball.

under saddle lately but things are starting to come
around again. I should have more news for you this
week.
