Second Day Session

      Today I only did groundwork with Booger, about an hour of the Porcupine and Driving game without any saddlework because he still seems sore on his hooves. He is improving really well, he is not trying to run me over at the door into the arena, just responding well over all. Unfortunatley I allowed him to trip himself two time with the string that I still use to bring him into the barn, I felt really bad and figured things probably weren't going to go well today. After the session, Jill asked me if I could wait around to let him out after he ate, it seemed that he was taking forever and I felt really bad for pushing him and hurrying him out of the stall. Something told me he was wanting to spend some time with me, he even laid down a couple times in the paddock with me there but I was too worried that Cameron woudl wake up and wonder where his breakfast and wonder where I am. Cameron still doesn't know that I am leasing Booger and I hate lying to him but this is the only way I can know without a doubt that Booger is my dream horse, "A City Girl's Golden Dream" (the name I would use as his registration name). I am videotaping all our sessions so 1: I can watch our improvements and my mistakes, 2: and to show Cameron the relationship between me and Booger. I just hope Booger doesn't hold a grudge the next time I see him from today.
