New pics of Emma

We went over last week to get her moving a little and take some pics. She is doing great; my trainer and his son have been riding her around and she is learning. :)
Here she is in her stall, where she was quietly resting before we came along to make her work :)

Then I got her moving in the round pen. She was really exuberant since she had not been worked with that day.

A funny pic Mark took while she ran by him:

I let her cool off, and Mark let her have a tiny bit of grass; she hasn't been on grass in months so it would not be good to let her have a bunch.

Your thoughts? She is really losing the excess weight she'd put on loafing around all summer; we are working on the muscle tone!

Nice pics Gin! I know you are just awaiting the day you can ride her yourself! ;) She's a beautiful girl. Seeing the pics make me want to move to the country and get one myself. Of course I have minimal experience with horses, but I still love them.

Are you doing any long-lining/ground driving with her? Excellent way to build muscle tone & balance & also get some training basics down. She's a lovely filly!

K~

wow, beautiful horse. we have 22 acres but we dont live there yet so we'll have to wait to get a horse.

She's beautiful, and she looks good.

*sigh* I really need to get myself a good trail horse.

I have been doing some long lining with her. I like to get her warmed up with a walk, and then go into a trot. her trot is nice; she's nice and smooth with a rider, but when she's not backed, she gets this real "show offy" trot; i call it her Stud Trot, hehe. She is great about changing directions in the roundpen; I usually don't use a long line, but let her free-lunge, and she does not crowd me or move from the perimeter of the pen.
I should be able to get on her sometime in the next few weeks.
She is still at my tainer's place; it kills me to have to leave her and go home! I would just spend my whole day grooming, leading her and talking to her if I had that choice :)
