Well this week was another successful one.....Robin, the trainer, got on Duke again and rode him. This time for a good 15 minutes or so and she even got him into a trot, TWICE! This was a huge step and he was surely beautiful with his "gait" in that trot! We were both excited. I didn't video this time but I will have my camera with me in future sessions.
Also, Cisco has come a long way in just a week. Robin said she couldn't believe it, "he is a different horse this week than last", she said. There are a lot of things he did that I won't go into all of them here but he has made progress by leaps and bounds. We still have a long way to go, BUT he is on his way this week. She even got on him on Friday. It was not a "ride" by any stretch but she laid over his back and actually got on his back, sitting upright with his bridle and lead on. She was on bareback but was on his back just the same and I lead him around with her up there. This is another step in the right direction. Excitement has filled out house over these two events......these sound like small things, not really worthy of explanation here or excitement, but around here we are very excited. This is the very beginning of what we have been waiting for.
Til next time......
