Well, Joe is now two, has been gelded after he bred both of my mares. Now he is at the trainer to be broke to ride! I have him working good in the round pen. After his surgery, he had to be worked every day for the last 3 weeks to keep the fluid moving,so he is in shape! Lots of long trotting! I also have saddled him and gotten him used to that as well as taking the bit with ease. Junior, in Marshall, TX, is going to break him, sack him out and get him going good under saddle!
Well, to make sure that I liked this trainer, I decide that he needed to show me his abilities by ridding Gabe, and yeah.....he is good! We spent an hour working on Gabe. He informed me that Gabe has been lying and bullying me. So, he got him to really give to the o-ring and we managed to get several good runs out of him with out him cheating me on the first barrel! I must say that I was impressed! Not only with Junior's skills, but also with Gabe! Man, that horse can inhale a barrel! We have some homework consisting of giving to the bit and keeping his head down when I ask him to bend around the barrel. I think we will work on these things and make our come back in July!
