3rd Ride: Intro to cattle and the big boy pen- Day 28

Today I repeated what I did the last couple of days- basically walk, trot and canter in the round pen. Then I took her to the big boy arena where my husband's weaner calves are living. I got her to track the calves around the pen calmly at the walk- it was a really good introduction to steering around the pen and desensitizing to the cows too! In fact, she was more worried about some pallets that were pushed up against the fence than she was about the calves. Not too shabby! Pretty soon we'll be hitting up trails. I'm not sure if she has just lived in her pen her whole life or if she has had any kind of exposure to pastures or what...it'll be interesting to see how she reacts to everything! I am pretty excited. If she keeps going this good, well. I might decide not to sell her! I might sell my goof ball of a horse instead. He's a good horse too, but I am having a blast with this one!
