Good Bye 2013

Christmas was very nice, quiet around our house which was unusual, because everyone comes over for Christmas Day. Christmas Eve we open our presents and we also go to church and have dinner as a family.
I was pretty spoiled this year. I am so thankful for everything I got, and I loved everything!

New muck boots( a necessity for me my last ones were done for :)) a new silk scarf

I love it! Some Pearls, and a new hat band ( it came from the Montana State Prison, made by an inmate)

Over break I have been breaking one of our horses, he is kind of a project horse and since I have nothing, but time, so its good for me. 

Anyways I have put 10 solid days on Clyde (Stands with Fist), he was very head shy, didn't like to be caught, was hard to halter, would buck, and you couldn't even pat on him and he would be very jumpy.  Before these 10 days I had rode him on and off when I had time, and yes I got bucked off a couple times, but I guess I was dumb enough to get back on!

So this time I told myself, I wasn't going to get bucked off if I did it was my fault because I wasn't doing something right. Well I haven't got bucked off yet. I am also proud to say that he is coming along quite well. His ground work has come along ways, he can be rode bareback, stands while you get on and off, bumps up to a fence if you want to get on that way, turns really well, backs up, stops really hard, he is moving his shoulders over, and disengages his hind quarters really nicely, walk, trots, and lopes. Also can be caught anywhere!

I am very proud of him, he has come along ways from where he was. 

Here's a picture of Clyde with my sister when we first got him, he is a very handsome man it think!
