TB comes out

Yesterday was Mason's first day off since I got him. He almost got today off as well but I couldn't stand not seeing him for 2 days so I went to the barn and rode.

My ride on Mace was rather... well... interesting. For some reason I decided to try my nubby spurs on him to get a more prompt up transition. Everything was going well until we took a break. When I started back up things just changed. Mace was just full of himself, not bad but he was just all go go go, and very heavy. Not sure what that was about. I guess I did have a lot of things against me. He got yesterday off, and I tried spurs. Courtney has ridden him in spurs before so I know this wasn't the first time he was ridden in spurs.

After a slight battle I decided I didn't want to fight anymore and lunged to get some more of that energy out. I had no idea if Mason was ever lunged but for some reason assumed he knew the basics of lunging because he was on the track. Again, i don't know why. Mace was awesome on the lunge! For the first time I actually got to see how he moved, he's FANCY!!! I cant wait to have Lisa sit on him and really see how he moves! Anyways, going back on lunging, the poor pony was tired even before I started to lunge him, so tomorrow will be interesting. I wonder how he will be. My plan is to jump him but I just watched the weather and its suppose to be really nice out. Since there are no jumps outside I'll be stuck inside. If I do end up jumping I'm definitely going to go out back to get him out there seeing new things.

I just bought 2 new halters for Mason, I cant wait to see and use them! Tomorrow my plan is to figure out what fits and what doesn't, I gotta start selling some tack since I need new tack! Yay and ugh at the same time lol
