At last some more horse time

This morning- I was up early and Megan took Maxwell for his jaunt around the farm. My gosh he's a speedy little character...no mucking around with this guy. His halter and string came off today...He loves the stream, balked at the water troug, came over the bridge beautifully until the last few steps and then he just took off with Mae (dog). She was running through the stream and generally being hyper active as usual and Maxwell thought he'd like to try it too, so off he went....Megan just ran beside him at the end of the 12ft leadrope...bit out of breath and a "hey this boy can move" they were up the driveway in nano seconds. By this time I was putting the western saddle on Louka- we want to walk him around with it on to make sure he feels comfortable with it on his back...for Louka this was no problem at all and man does he look just the "Dude" in that western...Long and Low...calm as....When I was putting it on him Sarg and Gypsy came into the stall and Gypsy decided she was gonna kick Sarg out of there- even if it meant he'd have to go over the gate...of course Sarg didn't he "knows" when to move, but there was a bit of a rucus and the saddle fell off Louka when he spun around as I hadn't dome it up at this stage...Louka just looked at it had a sniff of it and we put it back on him....did the 3 stages of tightening the girth and he was off on his walk...through the stream etc....He doesn't seem to mind anything...When we arrived back Oscar was waiting and whinneying to me- he's becoming quite vocal now- he has the biggest softest eyes of them all now.....Not sure that Maxwell will be ready for the show...may have to take Louka & Sarg- I don't want to put him through too much too soon.....we'll see
