My new baby is growing by leaps and bounds, and soon will be stronger then me.
Its been over a week since I have worked with her, mainly due to the fact that I have been Very Sick and couldn't even get out to the barn. But I went yesterday, rode Ringo and spent some time working with the baby between her mama's lessons. She is very feisty and can be stubborn but I think she is learning. I can tell she knows what I am asking of her but only does it on her own time, when she wants to. After about 10 minutes working with her, she started to get frustrated and wanted to pull me around and swing her head about. She also likes to try and bite my leg and the lunge line constantly and she gets mad when I get after her about it, almost like she throws a small temper tantrum. But I feel like I shouldn't be to hard on her just yet, to much discipline at once probably isn't good, sides, she is only 4 months old still, I have to keep remembering that. She cant and wont learn everything as fast as I would like and I don't want her to become resentful at me for always pushing her and getting after her, I try to give her good scratches and pats as much as I can. I cant wait till she is fully leading and gets weaned. Then I think I will start taking her for walks and such. So much to teach her!
I am glad I bought her and not some noob who doesn't know what the hell they are doing. I bumped into the lady who was suppose to buy her before I swooped in and took her. She is a new rider and would of had NO idea how to deal, train or raise a baby. She just wanted to buy her so she could keep her with her mama! HA. Like Enika would of let that anyways, babies HAVE to be weaned, no matter how much they might hate it the first few days. Gah, I hate seeing nubs who have no idea what they are doing, buying foals thinking that since they are small and cute....it will be just so easy to raise and train them.... /sigh.... Its like those people that have kids and really have No right to be reproducing.... we all know the type...
