#165 - The best lesson EVER!

Teddy and I had a great lesson yesterday. He spent the day in the yard next to Princess while I was at work and I think he's in love. Apparently they interact over the fence all day. He was so happy and content and I think the drugs are doing him wonders as we are riding so much better.  A lot of things have had to fall into place of course but he was consistent, this help me and my balance and visa versa, and there was very little head tossing. I rode with a big smile on my face.

Teddy is becoming a great horse, but I still think he needs a friend... in time Teddy... in time.

#164 - Fell and Teddy was the perfect gentleman

Yesterday I fell right in Teddy's path and as I hit the ground I was thinking to myself, "What body part is going to get broken, cut up or smashed in as Teddy lands on me?"

But no! Teddy came to a halt with me on the ground in front of him and when I rolled over and looked up he was just looking calmly down at me. All beautiful horsey face! What a perfect gentleman! He was standing within centimetres of me and I just reached out and patted him on the chest as I composed myself.

I did get a frustrated sadness going but I have to say I was very proud of him because he could have easily stomped all over me or buggered off.

I think he cares aawwwhhh!

#163 - Teddy Cam

Teddy should have been born a cat - a fraidy cat!

I took him out for a trail ride around the reserve, which is located across the road (if this counts as a trail ride). As this was the first time we have done this he was very alert to the things around him. Particularly at the start when he was refusing to go forward so I had to work him through it. Strangely, we went past some roos and he couldn't have cared less about them but non-living, stationary objects he found spooky. Because of this I decided to get the phone out and record a bit of Teddy Cam.

 A couple of kids were walking down the road on the other side of the fence and this was his second biggest issue, but we got past all the each things he thought were monsters and he got better as time went on. It was a nice ride.

Trying to capture video footage isn't as easy as I hoped it, but here is a snippet of it.
