Bailey's First Big Girl Clinic

I journeyed to Kerrville this past weekend for a 2 day horsemanship clinic and decided to take Scout AND Bailey.  I assumed day 1 would be mostly groundwork and since Scout knows a lot of stuff already, I thought it would be the perfect time to play with Bailey and get her even more ready for being really ridden!  Well, with the temperature having been in the mid-90's the week prior, boy were we in for a shock when a major cold front blew in on Friday night!  All day Saturday we had winds gusting to over 30 mph and it was COLD!!!  I was a little concerned that Bailey would be more reactive due to the weather, being in unfamiliar surroundings, away from Scout, the other horses, and so on...but she was PERFECT!  She was focused on me, did everything asked, wasn't scared or worried in the slightest...we had a GREAT time!!  I was so incredibly proud to show her off to all my horsey friends who had been hearing about her and reading the blog.  I managed to snap a few photos of her before my camera went ka-put!  So enjoy!  Hopefully I can get a few more from some of the other ladies at the clinic.
BAILEY'S FIRST CLINIC


I am sending Bailey down the ramp...she went right over on the first try!


Now back up the ramp...no problem.


Our instructor playing with Bailey...circle game with an obstacle, again, no problem!


Up at the highest point!


Not just one leg?
