The Amazing Kena

01/17/2021

On another note...

I struggled a but with this year!s challenge. The first couple of months, it was really hard to get any training done, but we did really well the last month or so. So I didn't get as far as I wanted, but Kena is such an amazing horse, and is so smart and mellow.

Here is the link to the video I created for the Competition submission.

Kena was feeling super frisky yesterday, but we managed to get a session in anyway! She was bucking and playing while she ran around the round pen. I thought it would be fun to introduce her to pool noodles. They were scary monsters at first, but after a little exposure, she is always pretty accepting of new things. She learns so quickly, and has such a great head on her shoulders.

But of course, as soon as the weekend comes when I have more time for her, the weather turns bad! 🤷 Good grief!

Kena looks soooo cute in English! 😍 Maybe this is a good outfit for her video...🤔

Kena had a great day! It was our first ride on her. Lots of groundwork and trust exercises going in before this. And she did so well! No bucking, just a little confusion as she tried to figure out the steering 😊 I am so proud of her! She is such a great horse ❤️

HUGE shout-out to Jonathan at 3 J's hay! He is generous enough to donate a few bales of his awesome grass hay to Kena for the Challenge! We are so incredibly thankful ❤️ The whole trailer isn't for us, but he is loaded up and about to head down!

If anyone ever needs quality grass hay that your horses will love, 3 J's is the place!

This weather is really hindering our training efforts! It is hard when you have to work a full time job to pay for your horse habit 😜 Then, when the weekend comes and you actually have time to train, the wind blows like a hurricane! Good grief 🤷 I am doing the best I can, but the weather is just not cooperating this weekend.

Kena and I want to give a HUGE shout out to Debra Sherwood! She is so amazingly kind! She brought Kena a bag of grain, some of her supplement, and a thick, fleece blanket! ❤️❤️🥰 We are so thankful for all of the support we receive, no matter how big or small. Thank you Debra! And if there is anything we can do for you ever, please let us know!

Today was saddling day for Kena! She has been saddled, even ridden before, but it was clear to me that she wasn't really comfortable with it at first. I thought for sure she would buck, but she didn't! She is so amazing. If she gets riled up over something, she is able to think and ca down very quickly. And she is super smart. I am so proud of her!
