Alright, our second work out went very well, Thena let me catch her in the pasture with out a chase (Progress!!!) and walked very nicely back to the barn with me (Even more progress!!!!). She stood quietly in the cross ties again and we finally decided what happened to her leg. (She has an indent in her left flank) and we figured she got kicked in the pasture of got tangled up and sliced herself, all the way to the bone since the muscle there is completely gone. After we tacked up we brought them both into the arena (Bentley did very good as well. Was a bit more jittery in the cross ties but nice and calm in the arena, just opposite of Thena hahaha, Shes all calm on the cross ties but once you go to work her shes SO hot. She thinks she an arab, head up and tail in the air. We have said she looks like a Gazelle o.O' But after about 10 minutes of fighting me and the rope halter (A god send) She finally calmed down and trotted in some NICE lunging circles. I was very proud. After about 40 minutes of lunging, we De-spooked them, throwing tarps, balls, and flags at them. Thena didn't look twice at any of them, Bentley was terrified of the flag. haha. After that they did very good. We put them back outside, and Thena was a little naughty trying to rush me back to the pasture. Naughty girl.... Then work.
After work, Opies mom came over (Also Bentleys mom now!) and we hung out because the next day was Friday AKA Midwest horse fair!!!!! That is where I am updating from. The hotel. We have bought quite a few things that I will list later.
