As promised a photo and video bomb of Summer his arrival at home. He was all wet when he came from the trailer. She had closed everything off because of the trucks on the highway. Sum was so impressed with all the sounds and impressions that we kept him on the paddock in stead of the pasture. So he could land a bit. Tomorrow morning we will move him again next to the ladies who are in de pasture next to him so they can get used to each other. We will look at the what's and how's everyday. I dont want to rush him. (One of the photo's you will see Boudine our stable owners yearling Groninger mare).

Today was Sums last groundwork lesson. This time we started with asking him to go on a circle on a leadrope. This one was a little harder for him. The right side he did understand it quickly but the left side was an whole other level. Eventually he got it and I'm a very proud mom. We did go for lifting up the feet again (and it is getting better and better😊) so I could clean them. And we measured him, he is 142cm right now and he will turn 2 on the 20th of july. So I really do hope he will grow alot❤️🫣. (Counting the days!!! 4 to go) I discovered that everytime Sum finds something hard to do he will jump or rear a bit. (Not angry). Hope I can change that in him. That their's another way to show me he does find something hard or doesn't understand

Shes growing into herself at nearly two looking like she might end up on the chonkier side also just had like a full solid 5 mins of me cuddling and rubbing her neck and shoulders cause shes hella fluffy Chonky with alot of leg P.S.sorry for the sun(final words before blindness)

After a break and a couple of days of groundwork, we saddled up (no issues 😀). We had a little play on line then (after what feels like forever) I got back on 😀. We chilled by the mounting block, practiced some lateral flexions, walk, halt and back up. So happy to be back behind my favourite ears 😊

Maybe I'm exaggerating but tomorrow Summer wil be moved to my stable close to home. And a barley slept last night. I'm so excited and scared at the same time. Besides of you all and Zoë I do have no one on my stable that can help. (In working with him because they think differently and that is fine ofcourse). Scared that he maybe freak out. Scared that he won't make friends. My brain is starting to get down that rabbit hole. Anyone ideas to stop my brain of frying itself? Am I the only one who panics at these moments? 🫣
