Been riding Tush again as much as possible. I even got on CJ on sun.. what a 
ride! Whew!  Cj is feeling VERY good and it took about 20 minutes at a trot 
to settle her down.
 
The kid, welllllll she's a lark.. settles right down. But it takes a while to 
saddle her up since we tend to play a bit while saddling. ;)

Sadly with all the junk on the trail.. I can't think of taking Tush out.. 
she's still barefoot and I can't risk it. :/

Teach her to spook in place. Tush already does. :)

Kid settles right in, almost imediately... just have to continue to keep 
working with her on her head set.. likes to "oggle" to much.

Well remember one thing.. they're more prone to spooking when they have their 
heads way up... keep and eye on her and see if this works for her too.. that 
way you can get after her ahead of time. ;)

Yep.. weather out here still hasn't settled down either. :/
