âAnother Day in the Lifeâ
Callahan earned a solid A+ today â when it was time to be caught, he came running right over and happily followed me around, eager and ready to work. He moved beautifully through his maneuvers, with a big focus on shoulder control, balance, and engaging his hind end. To top it off, he volunteered as a demonstration horse for Colby, confidently showing that tarps and ropes are nothing to be afraid of. Brave, willing, and thoughtful â exactly what we love to see. đ´
Colby, however, chose a different lesson plan and decided today was the perfect day to play âyou canât catch me.â Unfortunately for him, that choice led to a much more challenging workout than simply going for a ride would have been. He spent some time observing (and snorting dramatically) from the corner as Callahan tackled my âvery scaryâ tools like a pro. Once the work was done, curiosity won out and Colby wandered over to investigate them himself⌠turns out they werenât so scary after all.
⨠Big takeaway: good choices make for easy days, and curiosity paired with consistency builds confident, thinking horses. Proud of both boys for the lessons they learned today â even if they learned them in very different ways. Make good choices!
