What can I say? Hubble is amazing! And we've had a miracle! I've trained hundreds of horses and NEVER have I had one who picks things up so easily and with such a calm demeanor! Sunday we drove out to Pena Adobe Park again. It was a busy Sunday, peole crawling all over that place. Hubble dealt with it all like it was old hat to him. Next we went right over to Ranchotel for the schooling show over there. That was an intimidating place for a "wild" horse who had only been off the ranch twice- this being his second time. His emotions were a little raised but nothing he didn't control. The only thing he seemed to really react to and was worried about was the horses in the warm up arena cantering up behind him. Low man on the totem pole that is I think he thought he needed to move- normal herd behavior. Evidense that instinctual behavior is still there. He jumped to the side and hit the end of the line and came right to me. Mind you he has never been in an arena with riders and has never heard clapping and a loud speaker and bleachers... and those barrels- they couldn't get more into that warm up arena- there wouldnt've been room for more- there had to have been about 8! He didn't seem to care about any of it. He sure was looking around though. Curious looking though. Not nervous looking for a place to escape to. It was a miraculous day! Today we will work on the ball. He doesn't like it and snorted at it when I introduced it. We'll fix that! My client Phil is coming to ride around while I work Hubble so he can get used to horses coming up on him. We'll practice our routine too today. Busy day... and I'"m cleaning tack and packing for Horsexpo. Horsexpo...here we come!
