Finally, the freedom of the round pen, without a grazing muzzle!As Pookey Bear has continued to improve, we have been taking 'baby steps' regarding turnout. First a 12 x 12 with a muzzle, then a 12 x 12 unmuzzled, then a 12 x 24, and so on.
Yesterday, he had worked up to a 60-foot diameter round pen, with no muzzle!
Since he had a full belly and the wind wasn't blowing too hard, he simply wandered around a bit, watched the bulls for a bit, then took a short nap. He did a few brief token half-rears when I went out to fetch him: this used to strike terror in my heart, but now I am glad to see the occasional rear or two!
Thanks for posting these pics, Mom. It's great to see the Pookster doing so well. Love ya!
