Obstacles you say...........no problem !

Sometimes it is fun to make horses really think @ their next step....one way of doing this is by setting up an obstacle course...thank you Kayla.

 Here is such a course.....the barrels are to walk/trot around, the white poles are also to walk/trot over & the wooden polls are to side pass around.

                Here are Black Jack & Kayla trotting over the poles

Here they are going around the barrels - she had braided his tail - that's why it looks SO skinny !

    Melody & Ms. Tia also took a turn - altho T does not look too thrilled :)

       Back in the day, Tia used to race barrels - so she's happier doing this.
Notice the freight train tooling by in the back ground - luckily these horses rarely react.....as opposed to new horses who freak out when they first get there!

Here's the Buddha doing wonderful - until - I asked him to back up thru them...he panic'd & completely wiped one out :))

          And finally showing his stuff - head & eyes up - right Patty?
