With growth comes so much!

Siren is blossoming into such a wonderful horse! Physically, she has gotten so big! She has already outgrown two blanket sizes and is ready for to move from the weanling sized halter to the yearling sized halter! She is learning how to tackle more obstacles and accomplish greater tasks. Just yesterday, I decided to rig up some fun obstacles to take her through. A friend and I tied up a tarp to resemble a sort of, tarp wall, for her to walk through. She was so brave and walked through very well! (when she was not trying to nibble and tear down the tarp! Haha!) I also had her play with scary pool noodles and wear them on her back, which again, she did not mind. Her favorite activity was hopping over the line of ground poles! My father and I plan to create a few new obstacles for her as well. Such as a horse teeter totter and a horse pedestal. She has also become very well behaved and tolerant in many situations like when there are children and dogs running around and other riders all in one arena. She is very cooperative and non- skittish when it comes to the chaos. She is outgrowing many of her poor bad habits such as nibbling on people and trying to sneak out of her stall when someone opens the door to enter. Luckily, she is not growing up too fast! She still loves to run and play like a baby! She chases me across the pasture and she still whinnies to me when I walk into the barn or call her name. I love having her around! She is the sweetest little girl who does not possess a mean bone in her body! I look forward to working on more with her!
