Subject: Serenity,Silver, and Captain

I put a saddle on Serenity and then tried to get the bridle on him!!! He threw his head up so many times then finally I got it on then when I stuck my fingers in his mouth to get the bit in he threw his head up again and pulled my arm with it. So I tried about 7 more times and finally when I was about to give up I got the entire bridle on (bit and all). But all that didn't tire Serenity out so I lunged him and boy did he go!!!! So I just led him around at a walk for a while then trotted him on the lunge line. I decided to end there for today. So I worked on ground manners a little more with him then let him in his stall to relax...
I took Silver on the race track this time she was really high strung!! She tried to bolt a couple times and I didn't know what her problem was. So I walk,trotted,and cantered her around the track keeping her calm then I did a slow gallop for 3/4 of a mile then let her out for 1/4 mile. I gave her a nice looooong cool down.
I jumped a course with set at 2.6-3ft with Captain. Man can he jump!! I worked on keeping him slow between jumps,and not rushing jumps. The 3rd time we did it he did so good but was a little fast at the beginning.
