Today was a good training day! I lead Scarlett around the arena for a while and then decided it seemed like a good day to tie her up for the first time! So I tied her to the post in the arena and walked away and waited for some tugging or resistance or something, but it never came! She kinda pulled on it once but gave up super quick. I didn't leave her tied up too long cause I needed to to turn her outside and she did so well. I'll probably tie her up for a longer amount of time on Monday.

Today Scarlett and I didn't do too much training besides leading in the arena but she got to go outside for a long time which she enjoyed! She's starting to get real sweet and easy to catch when she goes outside too which is nice! She whinnies every time you go outside, inside, walk into or out of the barn when she is in her stall and sometimes she just whinnies to talk to you! She's quite a bundle of joy to have around!
Today would have been my aunts 55th birthday and we got to remember her at dinner.

Today Scarlett got to go play outside for a long time! I got to play with her in the arena for a few minutes and we practiced leading and stopping. When I took her outside she was pretty happy and playful and followed me around the pasture. She always whinnies when I leave her and when I come back! It was pretty dark when I brought her in and she was very happy to come back to her nice warm, dry stall after playing all day! Since I've been leaving her out more often she's gotten sooo much easier to catch and she usually walks right up to me and wants to come inside.  When I brought her in Worthy was in the arena (which was dark) and he showed up at the gate and surprised us a bit! He always is happy to see other horses, especially Scarlett!

Today I got to play with Scarlett for about a half hour in the arena. She's doing pretty well with leading, and she picks up her feet pretty quick as well! She's a little bit of a challenge to catch when she is loose, so I wait for her to come to me instead of going after her, and she likes to try to sneak up on me, but she didn't take too long to get today! She's usually good about the blanket, but she doesn't like the hooks to dangle if they aren't hooked to the blanket and today she wasn't too sure she wanted to put it back on after I took it off, but we got it done. Whenever I take of her blanket, I notice some white hairs on her side, as well as some on the top of her tail, which makes me wonder if she has a little bit of the rabicano(however it's spelled) markings or if those are just strange hairs.. At this moment she is pretty happy because I turned her out in her little pasture so she can have some fresh air and grass, but she didn't want me to leave her alone; whit a little bit of debating with her whinnying and me replying, I finally convinced her she would be all right.
