Spring

It feels like spring this weekend - in the 60's and sunny. Yesterday I rode Gary. We're working on building his confidence away from the herd. To start, I have been riding him in the pasture so that he's near the herd but he doesn't have another horse with him on the ride. Yesterday one of the members of the herd stood on top of the hill and watched us. He and Gary talked to each other during the ride. Gary tried to turn and go to the herd a few times, but he was otherwise cooperative. Gary gets more relaxed with each ride. We're making progress.
