Orion, my 3 year old colt came a long way this summer. He 
went from being a spoiled, spazy colt to a mature (mentally and physically), calm gelding. He's a pleasure to ride and is fairly easy to work with when it comes to fine tuning. We've even been able to jump low set jumps one or two times.I recently bought a new english saddle that I am planning to use on him. He's not going to be a full on english horse, he'll excell more at reining, but i want him to be able to go any direction. I am really pleased with him and excited to have the next few years at college in Montana with him.
A BIG accomplishment this summer was showing and 4-h horse camp. He was amazing at camp and was often mistaken for a six or seven year old because of his attitude. He was calm, never bucked, and crossed rivers without batting an eye. He was a pro! I was able to show him three times this year and he took two firsts, four seconds, a third and a fourth. He placed in every class that he entered except for one, beginner horse. It just gives us something else to work toward.
