Training update from Stacy Riggs (July 8, 2010):
“Bubbles is doing great. She has been learning to tie and has been standing tied for a couple hours each day. She stands quietly and has not offered once to pull back or paw. We have a lot of traffic in the barn with tractors, sprinklers, kids moving horses around and she just stands and watches. I am also able to pick up all 4 of her feet. She is a sweetie and really wants to please.”
Training update from Stacy Riggs (July 17, 2010):
“Bubbles has had a busy week. I have loaded and unloaded her several times. Leading her in as well as sending her in. I have been working her on her back out because she likes to lift her head way up and could easily bang her head if someone put to much pressure on her. She also has been,getting hosed off. At first she was unsure of the water but once calmed down she loved it. Bubbles has also been working in the round pen and she is doing a fantastic job of always reversing to the inside and joining up. She is also doing great at standing tied and picking up her feet. This next week I will continue working on all the above but I am going to try to introduce a two horse straight load to her.”
