She stood quietly at the rail while I did a quick touch-up trim on Keno's feet. I booted him thinking we could head out for a trail ride and pony Jetta along with us, but the sky kept changing and was looking threatening. I decided we'd better not go too far so we headed to the arena instead. Surprisingly the outdoor arena wasn't too muddy. I turned the horses loose to run. Ah, poor Keno. Yet another girl to bruise his tender ego. Poor guy. But he seems to accept the fact that this little girl is going to run his socks off. After a few minutes he quit trying to keep up with her. She can really turn it on when she wants to! Watch this short video to see her easy lope:

Homework Day
Today was a homework day. I did groundwork with Jetta here at home: yielding, bending, softening, and lunging. I even lunged her over trot poles, which she seemed to like. She is very smart and is very quick to catch on. She also mirrors me sometimes which I find very interesting.

I saddled Keno and ponied Jetta around the fairgrounds. It was a quiet day, and she was easygoing and followed along past the rodeo arena, indoor barn, and other outbuildings. She's fun and easy to be around. Keno seems to get along with her also, so we'll be doing lots of ponying out on trail and even in town, eventually!
