During E.'s lesson on Wednesday Curly was doing his usual wandering path around the arena. Coach A decided that if he didn't want to walk in a straight line then E. should make him go in a tight circle. So E and Curly circled around a pole for 40 minutes! Then he was allowed to go in a straight line again....but as soon as he wavered from his path, back to the tight circle they went! The idea is that if she kept him in a tight circle, he might begin to realize that going in a straight line isn't such a bad deal.
I wonder how straight he'll go tomorrow....

Show season has begun...
E. and Curly, looking happy prior to the show... And just like last year, E. and her horse totally surprised all of us! She and Curly walked out of the 4-H Junior Division Showmanship class at the Waitsburg Junior Livestock Show with a Grand Champion ribbon.
Here's a tiny clip of the judge announcing that she is the champion:
She also participated in Western Equitation (red ribbon there - the judge said it looked like she was posting while she trotted.) and Trail (blue ribbon performance). Here's a couple of pics for those:
