Back to Work, Miss. Gia!

So, Gia is spending 30 days with her New Friend, Sandy! She will be getting some fine tuning done as well as exposure to all sorts of fun things.

Here's S on Gia the first week... and then I popped (climbed) up on her and got to see how she was doing.




One of the things I am thinking about doing with Miss Gia is the Sheriff's Posse Drill Team. S took her there last night and I went to check it out. I'm certain Gia is up to it... I just don't know about myself!

Long time -- No Post

So, the weather has been wet and cold with some brief nice stuff. Gia has not been doing much except for getting lunged.

After her last trim she was too sore to ride so she missed out on that! Boo... I may have to shoe her fronts or decide if I want to just put boots on her.

Here's some of my latest shots of her -- we have had some nice warm weather and she's shedding like crazy!

Mermaid Mane

The weather was so darn nice today I had to do a quick ride -- but first, the messy dirty braids had to come out. The resulting mermaid hair was so cute! I'll re-do them before the next round of rain.




Gia Tried to make a break for it when I started taking too long!




I also washed her very, very dirty tail... hey, it isn't dark brown!!


The ride was good... she's a smidge timid going out alone, but she was good. Hopefully tomorrow (Monday) we will ride with C and S -- so today was a quicky.

Gia Update

So, with the Holiday and all the rain and cold we pretty much laid low.
Gia spends time "protecting" Cupcake from Skip - haha!

Then the weather got really weird! Warm and Sunny! This morning it was 29 at 6am and by noon it was 80. Weird!


So I pulled the remainder of the vetwrap off of Gia's mane - they were dirty and all coming out and unraveling. I had done it once before and re-wraped, but this time I just let her dreds hang.


Of course, after a ride and a grooming she has to roll... figures.


We did go for a quick ride up the road to try out the new breast collar. Seemed to work fine. The bridle and bit set up still disturbs me. Probably more than it bothers Gia, but I still want to work on it.
