Finally have the video of our trail/freestyle run from Friday. He was definitely very nervous in this arena but considering he’s never been in front of this many people (and his first time in this arena and course was this moment) he stayed with me very well! (Although, the spook at the mailbox was a bit much🙃) I’m very proud of him and happy he got to come home with me at the end of this weekend ❤️
Showmanship! I’m really proud of how his little 2 year old brain handled this, and although a little squirrely setting up overall he did great! When I get the trail video when I get home, I’ll post that too! All that’s left tomorrow is awards, and then Apollo gets to come home for good!❤️
One last outing before move-in day tomorrow! This was his first day ponying, and while a bit of a 2-year-old still (everything must go in the mouth lol) he did great! We also spent a long time on the teeter-totter and balance beam to help prep for comp! All in all he did great and is feeling ready to go tomorrow!
Worked with Apollo on my (very) DIY obstacle course 🙃 He did great! Although, maybe not the most graceful 2 year old around 😅 Tomorrow he gets his second (and a half) hoof trim!
An old obstacle video from our McIver trip a few weeks ago! Been busy but he’s doing good 🙂 Will try to post a more current update soon!
Pool noodles fun day 2! Upped the stakes a little bit today to try and prepare for tomorrow 🙃
Apollo met the pool noodles today! He was a bit nervous for the first few minutes but eventually walked right over them like a champ 🫶 this video was about halfway through working them, he honestly ended even better than this 🙃 Love this boy!
Apollo got all four feet trimmed today! Thank you Amira as always for being amazing and incredibly patient with him 🩵 He did great! Pacific Northwest Natural Hoofcare
This is day 2 of working on trailer loading, and he’s really figuring it out now!
This was yesterday! He’s obviously getting quite comfortable with us 🥰
Started working on foot roping yesterday! He did really good so it’s something small and easy we’ll plug away on on these hot days 🙃
