No pictures today because I had no helpers but I did saddle up anyway! It was borderline too hot for me (I really am a wimp with heat!) but Linus handled it well and I gave us lots of rest breaks.
We ran the barrels a few times, I love how much this has encouraged him to move off of my leg! Then I moved the barrels (from his back again! Hee hee! I love that I can do this!) and we did some weaving. We trotted circles in both directions around the barrels too. I even had the saddle on a notch tighter! Our work is paying off - wonder when MY belt will go a notch tighter! Lol
Afterwards, once he was untacked and totally free to do as he pleased, Linus walked over and rested his head on me and I spent a good few minutes just scratching his head and ears. It's so nice knowing that whatever I ask him to do - he still likes to just be in my company!
Love my big man!
