Day 36

Today was great. The first thing that we did was lead Bunny and Upendi out to the outdoor arena and let them go. I was surprised that Bunny didn't throw a fit when he was in her space. I was funny to watch, Bunny would follow Upendi and then Upendi would follow  Bunny. There were barrels set up in the arena so we took one and started to roll and kick it. The first few times Upendi ran from it. Then he would stand there and watch. To get Upendi to get close to it I lead Bunny over to the barrel. Sure enough Upendi is right behind her. He checks out the barrel. But when he nudged it with his noise it moved and Bunny took off and Upendi took off after her. Next I tied Bunny up and set up the barrels so they would be a jump. at first Upendi didn't know what to think and eventually I pulled him over the top of them. Next I tried to send him over the barrels without me pulling him from the other side. Finally he did it once. I will have to practice sending him through stuff. Next I tied Upendi up next to Bunny and rolled the barrels to set them  up. This didn't bother him at all. Then I untied both of them and lead them around together because I eventually want to pony him. Next we took both of the horses out to the trailer. We loaded Bunny up first then Upendi. This was a test because we didn't know how either of them was going to act. They were both fine. In fact, they were both tied up inside the trailer and the door was shut. We will have to take the for a ride next time. We backed both of them out and took them to Upendi's run. We put both of them in the same run and feed them to see if their were any problems. The reason why I did this was because I want to eventually put them together. I put both of them back in their proper runs and cleaned out there feet.
