"There is nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse" -Will Rogers
Job 39:19-25
19 “Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? 20 Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting? 21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray. 22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance. 24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. 25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’ It catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.

Days 33-37 more review
For a few days we decided to do some review again to work on things like picking up all four feet, trotting, round penning (moving forward, giving and coming to pressure, etc.), and working with the obstacles we have around the arena. I can now pick up all four of her feet and pound on them, even though she is not always consistent about her hind legs. We can also trot consistently at both a fast and slower trots, transitioning smoothly to and from a stop or walk. She is also getting really good with the tarp and is walking over it with confidence although she dose not like it being put over her back. She also comes running up to the gate when I call her, even thought she is an a larger area and sometimes in with all five of our horses and three of our bull calves. Also, she is now dropping her head when I put my hand on the bridge of her nose and I can get her to drop her head all the way to the ground so I know that if a kid were to halter her they can just touch her nose and they would have no problem reaching her. She is doing amazing and is tackling things with much more confidence then she used to as our mutual trust and understanding grows. I am very proud of her and I am continuing to have a lot of fun with her!
