Emmerson's BIG Adventure...

Well, today Emmerson had a BIG adventure... He went to the fairgrounds with Dancer and I ... He has not been ANYWHERE since he got here in October, so I had no idea how things would go. I loaded him in the trailer first and he calmly walked on in, like the pro that he is... When we got there, I had to deblanket, brush, etc he and Dancer and he stood calmly tied next to Dancer... Then I walked them booth inside the arena and had the place too myself, so I left him tied (they have a great tie rail system that is safe) and worked Dancer (who's getting better and better in that lope, THANK GOODNESS, lol).... As Dancer and I were finishing a few other people arrived. I needed to cool her out, so I decided to try ponying Emmerson while cooling her out... BOTH were really good, although Emmerson kept sticking his nose up in my face "HEY what are YOU doing up THERE????" Goober, lol....

After she was cooled out, I tied HER to the wall and put the saddle on Emmerson, put the bridle on him and side reins done up loosely and did some lunging, HE finally threw a few bucks (first time he's bucked with the saddle on so far) but they were more 'yippee' bucks then "OMG" bucks, lol .... after I'd lunged him out, I spent some time leaning on him and THEN..... I put the lead rope on him, undid the side reins and put weight in the stirrup for the first time (I warned the other two riders in advance, and they are people I know, so they said 'sure, we'll call 911 if needed, lolol)... I just stood up in the stirup and then petted him and layed over his back... HE WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!

I did NOT get on him, not ready yet for that first ride, I need to get some ground driving done first, BUT he's getting more and more desensitized to things and he was INCREDIBLY calm and good for a baby 3 yr old at a new place!!!!

I think he's going to be WAAAAY fun

I don't have a clue since I don't know who Emmerson Drive is, LOLOLOL... BUT I will tell you THIS much, I won't allow Emmerson TO Drive, although he HAS tried, he reached in the truck today while I was putting the trailer on it and started turning my steering wheel... SIGH... he's NOT too shy or afraid of much, that goober knob. lolol
