It has been awhile since I have posted - been very busy with family stuff-not to mention Samson. All 3 sons and families spent some days with us over the 4th -including a surprise visit from son in California for my birthday. We had a wonderful time-kept us quite busy.
Samson continued his lessons during all of this. We do our ground exercises almost daily. The in hand trotting, going over poles and backing up are getting alittle better daily. He does not give his feet willingly- I have to take them- we will continue to work on that. We are out of the round pen under saddle and into the arena. We have a long way to go. He is pretty "fiesty". Last night I took him off the property for the first time in trailer to a friend's house where I rode him in lighted arena. There was lots of activity around there and Samson kept his cool better than I expected. I was proud of him- he has such a wonderful attitude. Next week- I will take him to a different friends house and we will do our first trail ride. My appreciation for this horse just continues to grow.
