Okay So She's Not a Yak

I got in trouble for referring to Miss Lily as a yak. She is in an unfortunate looking growth phase at the moment, but yaks probably aren't nearly as sweet as Lily. We went for a little walk about yesterday and she is such a charming character. She's going to be blast to trail ride because she's as curious about what's around the next bend as her future rider is.

Megan was a sweet heart, too. She worked on the lunge in side reins for the first time in quite awhile and was perfectly pleasant and well behaved about it. She's certainly dead broke to voice commands which can only help when I get back to riding her. Fingers crossed for a good report next week. I'm itching to get her scheduled in full training after the first of the year, but don't want to jump the gun and jinx myself.

One more sweet thing -- I turned them both out and asked for a little trot to see how they were feeling after their trims last week. They both trotted around me in a nice big circle showing off their pas de deux sans any halters or lunge lines. We could take this act on the road.
