Hey Ya'll,

Sorry i haven't posted. I did twice in these two weeks but, it never came out :(. Anyway Buddy is doing well. I need to earn a bit more and then I'll start buying his feed. I've been learning more and more things about Buddy as the years go on. I'd of thought i would know everything about him since the four years I've been working with him. Or maybe I'm starting to understand him more because of Parelli. Anyway I've been taking him on trail rides to help him loose weight and build some muscle. I've learned that it's not that he's a brat on the rides it's just he's underconfident without his herd. I've been walking him through the trails in the woods, where i ride him, to let him feel better about himself. When we start out I'll jump on his back when we're in the woods, for about five minutes, and then I'll just walk him the rest of the way. His coat is looking spectacular due to the fast track. His hooves are much better as well. I did a parelli clinic with him last Saturday. We already new most of the stuff but, it was a great reminder. I might due another one with him next Saturday. I haven't been letting him out to the pasture to graze during the day (it's been to hot). I'll turn him loose into the indoor arena where it's much cooler. I'd like to make some changes in his stall and diet. I already have Miss Cheryls permission to do it i just need to get the stuff. I want to switch his feed over to the Seminole. For his stall i need to get him a jolly ball, a lickit, a scratching pad, and an automatic fly sprayer. I also forgot to say that his ears have been eatin alive from those stupid flys. I've been putting cut heal into his ears and then the roll on fly spray around his ears.
