Yesterday I picked up Inova, my Tennessee Walking Horse. He is 11 years old and has had a hard past. The wonderful people I got him from took him to a natural trainer and got his confidence back up. Inova is my new partner who I will mostly be writing about. I let him settle into his new home the rest of the day yesterday and all of today and only did some friendly game with him. Tomorrow I will start the games and maybe a bit of riding the rail.
Last Sunday I went out to meet him. We played online for about 45mins and it was so fun! He taught me how to do sideways way better then I could. (I must remember to have rhythm!!) After playing online I rode him. At first both of us were a bit unrelaxed but after we both got used to each other we stared to relax. We did a bunch of 'folllow the rail' and keeping relaxed. Did some walk-stop transitions. After awhile everything was going great and I decided that would be a great time to stop on our first ride.
Inova will be going with me to my Fast Track in March. Im real excited about our journey and can't wait for all the many things that will happen!
