Riding Roy

Boy we really did not think we were going to get to this point. Roy has alot of trust issues. Joe Misner has been a great help. He came over and showed us how to lay Roy down. When you lay a horse down and don't eat him, he thinks differently. After we laid him down, Gavin was able to ride him. Joe came over again, he rode Pockets the Wonder Mustang. Joe had Roy tyed to Pockets so if he bolted with Gavin on his back he would be meet by the end of the rope attached to Pockets. The ride went well, no bucking, forward movement, disengaged the hind quarters, bend left and right, and he had a good back up. The next day Gavin rode Roy with no one else in the round pen. Again it went well!!! Roy had a day off yesturday. Gavin helped Joe with a clinic Joe was doing in Joshua Tree. We could not be happier that Roy will be able to go to a good home and be a good partner for someone. He is looking much better since we have been able to get some weight on him. We will continue to work on getting him fattened up. Time is going by so fast!!! Hope everyone is doing well. See ya all soon.
