Oh my its Reining. 1/14/14
Today is the day we started Brillo in reining training, and by lord this horse will be the hardest horse to teach anything too. Being now a full fledged spunky, little two year old had its perks, but the draw backs exceeded the perks. Perk number 1.) longer attention span 2.) Developed mussels ready to be shaped. Then there are the draw back to Brillo's age 1.) He is crazy energetic 2.) Still a bit to young to show 3.) Such a long way to go 4.) The goofiness of his lope. Today is the day we found out Brillo's lope is beautiful, with low head and nice smooth strides, I mean for all about ten seconds then it turned to giddy, high headed nastiness. Keep in mind today was just a round pen day too. Welcome, to my life as Vanessa with my wonderful stallion Brillo. I shall keep monthly entries in this book for my family. I can't wait tos see his progression, bear with me!
Meeting Siren 2/21/14
Its been a month full of promise, sadly reining wasn't Brillo's expertise. I have found something that perks this playful boys interest. Liberty with Siren. Yesterday, was the first time he had ever met my buttermilk tovero Marchador mare. Siren and myself where just working her basic liberty moves, bow, lope away with my hand, paw and rearing. Then out of the corner of my eyes I saw Brillo half following Siren's actions, when she bowed he just dropped his head. When she pawed, he pawed. This made me wonder..Maybe, Brillo could be good at this. So I left Siren in the round pen, and brought Brillo in. Best part about all of this is, Brillo's big bad stallion attitude trying to be all cocky, and show off in front of Siren. I laughed as the stud tried to follow the bow but just laid down rolling in the dust. I sent Siren, to one end of the round pen with the wave of my ball cap at her turning my back to Brillo. I was talking a watching, as I felt Brillo come up behind me. I turned around to get him away, and he had my ball cap in his mouth! As soon as I turned her bolted loping around the pen head high, still holding my hat as he snorted and whinnied as loud as he could. He was so proud of himself, for stealing my hat. I wasn't mad all I could do was laugh, as she ran to Siren and got her trotting beside him. Next month will be bonkers if this keeps up.![]()
