Saturday the weather was fantastic! I started working with Wyoming and Tacy wanted in on the action. She kept asking to come in the pen - no, you have to wait - is it time yet? No, you have to wait. Well, I remember when I was a little girl around horses and I totally understand why she had a hard time waiting! :-)
I got done what I needed to, then it was her turn. Tiger and Wy were both wonderful so I trusted them to take care of Tacy, and I trusted Tacy to take care of them.
(NOTE: Not growing up wearing a helmet, I still forget...so yes, I am aware than neither of us is wearing one, and it is something that I will work on! Brian didn't notice either until we talked about it tonite)

After a hard day at work, it is time for the pool! Uncle Brian and Niece Tacy play in the pool after cleaning it out for the dogs.
It was a real neat weekend, and I got lots of video of Tacy too. We worked on her not TELLING and YELLING at the animals...we ASK them here. We also tell them how good they are doing, and we thank them when we are done because it is an honor for a horse to let us ride them. When her Dad picked her up today I thanked her for helping me train the mustangs and she said "I said thank you. I love horses."
What else is there to say? :-)
Until later...Karen and Tripp

Great pics. I can't wait for the day I can trust Faith to be that calm. She still has the stubborn streak.
How wonderful to have another horse lover in the family. It looked like lots of good memories. I thought Tiger was scared of the big leather saddle. He looked as calm as Wy. What a great weekend!
Karen,
Congrats on being selected as a trainer for the Tenn Mustang Makeover. I knew that you would make it. You really have a way with the horses. Thanks for your comments on Kirstin's blog. They really mean a lot to her. Looking forward to updates on the new mustang.
