Today I started with chores and then looked through pictures of horses for my project. After that I attempted to work with Chespa, but she was too moody to work with. So instead we let Tambien out so that I could get picture of him and then did the same with Santalina and Getana. I then finished up with chores.
Today I helped feed and then helped Jennifer change the stallions around. We then filled the hay truck and I worked on my project for the rest of the day. For my project I went through many horse registration papers so that I could find the "family trees" of the different horses that I needed.
Today I started with chores as usual. Libby came to visit so I showed her around and talked to her about what I've been learning. Then we loaded Beau, one of her stallions, and Marvin into one of the trailers to take them across the road so that they could retire. I also worked with Chespa. I made a lot of progress with her.
Today I did chores as usual and then worked with Chespa. I let her out and worked on haltering her and grooming. I then conducted my mentor interview with Jennifer. I finished up the day with riding PJ and working on getting her to move by moving my seat and halting her by stopping myself. I also learned about what parts of my body move with the horse.
Today I feed, moved the stallions, worked on my project, helped turn out horses and then worked more with Chespa. While working with Chespa I had to make changes to the way I haltered her to make her more comfortable with it.
Today I worked on my project and had a lesson in genetics from Jennifer. I then went around her farm and learned more about the way they are all connected. We also looked at how each horse is balanced.
Today I started off by doing chores around the farm. I also got to ride a little also. I rode PJ who is one of the bigger horses. Instead of a saddle I just used a saddle pad. I then worked with Chespa to get her confidence up.
Today I continued to work with Chespa a little and did chores. Because it was so windy I wasn't able to much with the horses.
After doing chores, I worked on ground driving with Dakota. Jennifer wanted me to work on connecting with the horses. Then I worked with Chespa. Since Chespa didn't want to work, Jennifer had me groom the ponies to make her jealous. After that Chespa was much more willing to work with me.
