I've had a busy past few days...
On Thursday night I went to the Halloween dance which was super fun. I went as Harry Potter... it was epic. Then I had Wind Symphony next morning at 7:00 am... After school that day I went to my friend's Halloween party at her house. Slept in on Saturday morning, then went trick or treating with two friends. Then on Sunday morning I went to my dad's friend's house and raked leaves for 3 hours, watched the Spruce Meadows showjumping on tv, worked on art, and then went to the barn.

So I went and got Joker, all was good.. we groomed, tacked up. He was really good up until the bridle.. he really did NOT want it in his mouth. He was bobbing his head up and down, backing up etc. He eventually broke one of the crossties, it really freaked me out and I just couldn't do it anymore. So I took off his saddle and brought him back out to the pasture. He was being really cute once we got out.. so I decided to do some groundwork with him. Starting with the lead rope, then I took it off leaving just his halter. I walked away from him, and he started following me. After that, I started running around with him trotting after me! When I stopped, he stopped. We even went over a jump together! It was really awesome, and I'm glad we had some fun after the bridle fiasco..

Bye!
