Interesting things

I moved Chiclet back to where I was before I started working student for Avery. It will be 2 years ago next week that everything changed for me in so many ways. The funny thing is nothing had changed at the barn I was at. It's all the same people plus a few new people with all the same issues. The good news is I don't have to take care of anyone else's chores just mine. I've played and rode everyday this week the footing in the ring was really slippery the first few days because we had so much rain. Chiclet hates it when he slips. He really shut down the first time I went to play in the ring. Today the footing was perfect and so was he. Offered flying change online and squealed when i played with him. Some times the draw is a bit sticky and other time he offers it right away. He's getting a little picked on by some of the horses in turnout. I'm thinking that they don't ha e real leaders with their humans so they are really nasty in turnout. It seems like the herd is really broken up and Chiclet doesn't know where he fits in. He's not big on moving his feet so he's got bites all over his butt. Poor guy. I'm not sure how long I will stay there but it works for now. There is this weird click at the new barn. They all and when I say all I mean every person in the barn all 9 of them have these strange medal hackamores they ride with. I asked what's the deal and some of the girls said that when they ride with bits they can't get there horse to go forward but when they ride with the funny medal thing there horse goes forward.......hhhhhmmmm interesting huh.
