Champ, T, Peg and I went to the 3rd Annual Wachula Main Street Ride today. Champ had a great day! He only had to do a few circles behind the trailer before deciding to go in. It was almost a 7 mile ride and he was determined to lead. But accepted it when I made him ride in the middle and near the back a few times (but most of the time, he was up with the trail boss).
He went through mud and water, high grass, palmettos. He saw cows up close and personal! He was very excited about that. I think he is really going to find cow sorting fun when we get to do it! He learned more about "waiting", something he reaaaally doesn't like to do. He hasn't learned the beauty of just standing around yet, so we just ride circles around the group between "short" waits. I notice the "waits" get a little longer the more circles we make
We "waited" several times for everyone to catch up. Champ has a walk that just burns down the trail. And he 's racking very nicely now for me.
He's still testing me and does not like to stand for mounting.
