driving and riding



Today was another beautiful day ~ grass is growing and everything is turning green. We hitched OYY Buster today, first time in about 2 months. He remembered all his training and did very well. He went down in the big ring for the first time and then out on the road for a short trot, which he enjoyed tremendously. Buster is out of Sudie Bee and Mead's Chocolate Chip. I was able to get short video of his time out- which you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoU62QjwvUs



Two of the foals had some work done with them. OYY Aztec is a cute little filly full of sass ~ By the end of her session she was behaving and listening. Silly girl !







Next was OYY Jockomo. He's a quiet boy, somewhat lazy. He was happy to lead away from his pals and do some work. He still has most of his foal coat, but it looks like when he sheds out-- he'll be very dark. Handsome boy ! He's a cousin of Buster's (his dam OYY Tippateena is maternal sister to Sudie Bee) plus he's a paternal brother of Buster's also (both sired by Chip). Great potential there !





OYY Ivan had some time down in the big ring also. He has been down the road a few times and is forward and curious and eager. Lovely gelding. He's a maternal brother to Aztec. He's been doing some growing lately, we sticked him at just under 15 hands.
I guess it's about time to start up the lawn mower soon.... it always seems as though the grass grows best where you don't really want it !
Enjoy your day ~
