Zeek & Gwin

This morning we went to see Gwin. Zeek asked me on the way if we were going to have to go and see her everyday... this was our second day in a row. I told him that we would at least see her everyday for awhile to give her the meds she's on for her tummy. He wasn't thrilled. He's not a commitment guy. ;)

He did his ground work with her. AMAZINGLY. I was so proud of him. He kept his eyes looking and his chest facing out in front of her. He asked with all his languages, body, words, sounds, and energy. And he worked that lung rope and stick like a little pro. He's coming along quickly. 

After lounging her he rode. We made up a little game that we call Cattle Herding. I place items on the post around the round pen. He has to drive Gwin right up to each item, take them onto her back with him, and ride them back to me one at a time. He did well for his first time. He especially liked when he asked her to step up her walk a bit and she did. 

It felt so good to be with them both. It's so nice to see him really learning about and loving horse time with our girl. I made two videos of the morning:
