Things I Want to Try With Spike

Of course, with some baby steps leading up to these things...

1. Joining Up- Ever since I read Shy Boy I have wanted to join up with Spike, it would be *so* much fun... I have been researching so that when I get the chance I will know what to do...

2. Trail Ride- alone (with a phone and first aid of course) down to the water crossing, perhaps with one other person who wouldn't mind taking pics of us <3

3. Jump- Of course! I mean, I need to be more confident over fences first, but eventually <3

4. Ride bareback and bridleless! Ahhhhh! Bareback is already so much fun... and it would test our bond <3

5. Just chill, finish teaching him the tricks I have been working on with him... build our trust, learn how to better speak his language :D

I don't get to see Spike for two weeks :(

I stopped by the barn yesterday... but it was shortly after haying time so he was pretty interested in his hay... He left it to sniff my pockets and visit for a few minutes though, I think he knew how happy I was to see him... I got a cute picture of us, and the few moments he payed attention to me were awesome <3 I love that horse more than imaginable!
