catch up...again

Well, time to play catch up! We've had a very crazy few weeks. Most recently, my Grandmother passed away suddenly. She was not ill or anything and it came as a huge shock to us all. So, this is the first time I have even been on the computer in all of October I think. Or close to it anyway.

Thank goodness Linus has been getting more time than the computer!! I had him out today since we had a very nice fall day. I just used the surcingle, bitless bridle and lines so that we could practice cues. He was pretty frisky but settled quickly and did a pretty good job.

I have had to put him in the barn a few times because the rains have been so heavy. The new neighbouring house isn't completely landscaped and their runoff is going right into his pasture! Every time I lead him to or from the barn he gets better and better. It used to be a bit of a chore because he was so excited. When he's like that I just circle him until he gives up. Lately he's been walking calmly with his head just below my shoulder. It's so great to have him so obedient.

Unfortunately I deleted his pictures before I loaded them on the computer. Hopefully I can soon get some up.

Congrats to the September mini-challenge winners! What a fun month. I should have a magazine within the next two weeks with my article in it!! So excited to see that!!
