Drifter appears to be doing better with her hoof issue. The farrier didn't see anything special or unusual about her hoof today. She is still just a little off at the trot.
We worked on the lunge with the saddle and stirrups attached and hanging at her sides, which she really didn't seem to mind. I had her walk and trot over some ground poles and although she has no idea where her feet are, she was open to the idea. There was also another horse walking around and she maintained her attention. The thing that bothered her most was the flies biting her, since she is wearing a fly sheet most of the time.
I also lead her over the liverpool in the ring today and she was a little hesitant, but followed. Hopefully we are back on track now.

I purchased a young mare named Drifter in May of 2008. She is a cremello Quarter Horse mare. She was started under saddle in the fall of 2008 and delivered a healthy filly April 11, 2009. Since she came to me with no formal training I am blogging to explore the process of horsemanship, non-traditional training methods and holistic training with this beautiful mare.
