Twister and the Round Pen

Twister saw Daddy working in the round pen yesterday and watched from outside looking in. He really wanted to get in and see what it was about. The round pen is in the field they are in, so it is a part of what he knows. Well, this morning I look out and Twister and Butterscotch are both playing in the round pen. I love seeing him discover new things with a confidence.

Twister was pushing the barrels around with his nose and playing with the ball that is in there. So much confidence....now if Butterscotch our barrel- jumping pony will just teach him to jump it... :)

We also noticed that he has 2 new baby teeth. They are certainly helping him eat more hay, and not look so silly doing it!

We plan on working Sally in the round pen now that Twister is comfortable with it. She needs to be "led". Without a leader stronger than her, she is getting to be a bit spoiled and bratty without the confidence and stability that training gives her. She needs a good brushing out too! I think she is shedding her whole coat again!
