Friday 2/19/10

Even though the weather wasn't sunny and 70 degrees, it still proved to be another busy day for Iceman on Friday. Eric started out the morning with the usual grooming routine (which is proving to be a difficult job on such a light horse with all the mud we have had lately) and after that they worked on tying. Iceman is quickly learning to stand still and release his own pressure when tied. After that, it was back to the Round Pen. The tack was brought out today and they worked under saddle for quite some time. Iceman is also picking up all his feet like a champ now, which is perfect since he is due for another trim.

Sharil also stepped back into the pen and worked with Iceman for the rest of the day. They worked on desensitizing activities and revisited what they had learned the day before for a few hours. After all the work was done, Sharil and Iceman took a long walk through the Mesquites to unwind. I am sure Iceman slept well after his busy day.
