I think I've taken advantage of Beau never getting dirty. Somehow every time I groom him there's little to no dirt, and with him having so much white that's a blessing. Sometimes Beau can be a bit funky when going out to the outdoor arena, he'll jump, spook, and keep the lead rope taught. But today he went out like a gentleman, he got his hip around, his head and body relaxed, and the lead rope had some slack! After some walking and weaving through poles, I sent him walking over the troting logs, I think he hit everyone except the last.. But that's ok he's just a 4 year old baby... We're working on it. Did a few trotting circles and he's a bit lazy, but with a little more encouragement he'll pick up the pace. We've also been working on getting him squared and he's picking it up fast!! And as a generous reward I let him eat a few bites of the tall grass by the tire!
