Sad my boii is still lame, I lunged him  but he wasn't getting better, so I just put him back outside. I was going to lunge him in front of R, and she was running a little late and I was a little early, and couldn't do anything, so I just hung out with him. He always hates his face touched, and anytime he tries to get close to you it's usually to see how you taste. He likes to lick, and play. I was just gently petting his neck and got him really relaxed, and he put his head down and leaned it on me. We stood there for a good half an hour, just relaxing there. It was very cute, and he made me feel better. He's so hard to get affection from, any little step will make me happy!
K also thinks the problem isn't in his foot, but his back or his shoulder.
So R told me I could pretty much ride whoever, so I decided to give Xavier a whirl. People had told me I should try him, but I wasn't convinced until I didn't have another horse to ride. It was a great, fun ride. He is so much easier to get rounded and his head down. His walk is a little funky, but once he's warmed up he is really great! His gaits are SO smooth, and his canter is the best thing ever! He just glides around. I also feel like I do better with my hands on him, and it is much easier to keep them steady. I don't have to try so hard, he is much more responsive. We did a little counter canter, leg yield trot and canter, canter wasn't always on purpose, but it sure was fun! A nice break from Dru, hoping to ride him some until Dru gets better. I think I might want to start having some lessons on him just to learn more and take a break from Dru. Glad to have two good horses to ride now!!
