An Awesome Last Week!

Last week i had the best week ever! oh and this week too, so far!

This is what happened!

I rode Prince bareback! for the first time in about two years. he was perfect as a horse can get, only doing what he knew i felt safe to do, and that was walking really slowly around the half of the paddock he had. I had put up a eletric fence standard about three steps away from where i mounted. Turns out that was the last place we went to before i got off.
  Second best thing that happened was, i walked up to Prince while he was lying down asleep, without him ever getting up! normally he gets up to see me. i wished so much that i had a carrot to reward him.
  Thirdly, i took him out on a really windy day and put sacks, and plastic bags and many other flappy things to see what he would do. Nothing! i managed to do liberty in the round corral (that by the way is when there is nothing on your horse and you have nothing but your carrot stick) and he spun for me, and jumped a row of standards, a jump almost as high as the fence, and lastly shoved his ball across the field! talk about awesome horse!
  Yesterday i rode him also, for longer then before, and he was also perfect then too. He Jog trotted a little bit too. My Princey boy knows my limits too which is great! also i have some vids of that too, which i'll edit and hopefully have on here too..

Its been such a confidance builder of a week! i hope yours was as good!
