Kallie & Dessi @ The Indoor

Both Anna and I had the afternoon off today so we thought we would take up the opportunity to take two of the ponies to a local stable that has a really nice indoor arena. Poor Kallie was pretty sure I was getting rid of her I think, she saw the trailer and the halter in my hand and started shaking. I took lots of time reasurring her and got her on the trailer without much effort, the first few times she got on I took her off again so she wouldn't feel trapped by being instantly locked in. So we played for a little bit then finally loaded her up, she was no longer shaking at this point. Any time the poor mare has been on a trailer before would have been long rides and to new homes. I don't think my girl wanted to leave me.

When we got to our destination Kallie was very releaved to see me and easily unloaded off the trailer and was suddenly walking around with a certain confidence in her step. We played with both horses in the arena online for a bit then let them explore, roll (boy did the roll, Kallie must have rolled 6 times!) and play.

So here are some pictures of our fun day trip!

Your girls look great!!! You can definitely tell that Kallie relaxed in a hurry She appears to have a very nice natural headset.

Kallie looks wonderful. I am so pleased with the progress she has made with you. I bet she and Dessi thought their trip to the indoor was the equivilent of a tropical human vacation...Suppose?????

Fun collection of pictures to look at. Thanks! There's nothing as good as a roll in the sand mid-winter. You must have had a wonderful day!

Looked like a terrific day............dont you just love it when the footing is marvelous and they can just kick up their heels and motor on out...........and something lovely and soft to roll in...........wooooooooohoooooooo :cowboyhound.gi

Love the pics, looks like the ponies had lots of fun!

Thanks everyone for the comments! The girls seemed to really enjoy it (once Kallie got over her original fears), we will be going there again for sure! It is so nice to be able to work indoors and on nice soft footing this time of year, and it is like a little vacation for them ponies hehe.
