February 3, 2009 Sebastian in his paddock gets a new purple halter from Sasha! |
 |
| He looks really cute in it and it matches his winter coat. |
 |
| This is his new friend "Lady" she is the mare one paddock over. |
 |
|
February 10, 2009 Sasha grooms Sebastian in the barn. |
 |
| We ride him over to Lake Dennison for the first time this year! |
 |
| The whole lake is frozen over and people are ice fishing on it. |
 |
| Sebastian is so cute, he kept staring at them. |
 |
| He was really interested in all the sites and sounds. |
 |
| We decide to get going for our first time here. |
 |
|
February 11, 2009 The next day is so warm we decide to come back and visit Sebastian again. |
 |
| We try to lunge him in the round pen. |
 |
| But it's really not big enough. |
 |
| The riding arena is plowed in with ice and snow, but we decide to try to find a way to get him in to free lunge him. |
 |
| So I walk him over and try not to slip on the ice. |
 |
| We get past the cows and a couple of wires stuck in the snow... |
 |
| And he's off! |
 |
| Oh boy is he having a good time! |
 |
| There is nothing he loves more than free lunging! |
 |
| Go Sebastian Go! |
 |
| I let him rest for a few minutes... |
 |
| And we walk around together. |
 |
| Those scars on his face still look bad. |
 |
| He twirls his tail to the side out of so much excitement! |
 |
| He takes a break and smells the air. |
 |
| Here he comes again! |
 |
| Close up. |
 |
| I love to watch him stretch out and run! |
 |
| He always comes back obediently. |
 |
| I love this horse so much! |
 |
| Free lunging! |
 |
| Kick up your feet! |
 |
| He's getting an excellent work out! |
 |
| Yup, he's tired now. |
 |
| Okay boy, that's all for one day. |
 |
|
February 15, 2009 I take Sebastian to the ring to free lunge. |
 |
| Sebastian gallops! |
 |
| Look how high he lifts those hooves! |
 |
| He wants to run with Sasha! |
 |
| Best friends! |
 |
| I ride him over to Lake Dennison again. |
 |
| And then Sasha gets on for a ride. |
 |
| It's a really beautiful day... |
 |
| Sasha rides him through the trails. |
 |
| Sasha's Mom takes pictures too! |
 |
| We have a really fun time riding in here! |
 |
| Sasha poses for a scenic shot. |
 |
| Sebastian looks to the lake. |
 |
| Sasha takes him down to the boat ramp. |
 |
| Into the sun... |
 |
| The lake looks so different when covered with ice and snow. |
 |
| I double with Sasha and we ride home! |
 |
|
Febraury 17, 2009 Sebastian free lunges again! |
 |
| Gracie and I free lunge him together. |
 |
| Sebastian meets JJ, Heather's Stallion. |
 |
| I thought this was a cool shot. |
 |
| Heather and her Stallion. He's the father of Zoe's baby. |
 |
| Sebastian & Lady |
 |
| Sebastian nibbles on some fresh hay. |
 |
| Heather tells me about Jackie& Zoe her two mares. |
 |
|
February 21, 2009 Sasha rides Sebastian in the ring. |
 |
| Sebastian kicks up snow! |
 |
| Smile Sasha! |
 |
| Mother and daughter. |
 |
| They canter around and laugh and smile. |
 |
| Red glasses |
 |
| Sasha tells me to double with her mom. |
 |
|
This is right before Sebastian buck at the canter on the corner and Sasha's mom came down hard and spooked him for a second. |
 |
|
I help my sister to her feet, we both actually fell off when she jumped off she pulled me off balance but Sebastian stopped right away. |
 |
| I get right back on to check Sebastian. |
 |
|
Then Sasha gets on and canters him around that corner that he doesn't like. She circles him in that area so he knows not to do that. |
