Hey guys! I rode Diamond yesterday! She was amazing. I had set up the barrels and was warming up around them. She actually tried to dive in on a barrel and turn it! After warm up, I walked the pattern a few times and then trotted. She was wanting, oh so bad, to run them!! She picked up on what I wanted her to do really quickly. I'm going to trot them for a while (at least another 2 weeks) until I know she is ready to maybe pick it up! She is an automatic horse and has the need for speed. She'll make a good college horse :D She is being very, very willing to do as I ask. I let her gallop around the arena a few times; man, she can fly. She loves it too! 2010 is ours! I can't wait til her first "show" of the season, which is Saturday! We are only going to trot the pattern, but she has a very fast trot :) That's it for now! Drill tonight, but I can't take her due to us having 4 horses and only a 3 horse trailer :/
