I've put a total of around 25 rides on Shaggy now, had his feet done once and he was a champ, he's been clipped and banded and pretty-boyed-up, and we even went to our first schooling show.
I was show manager at the show so he was just there for fun. I tacked him up at lunch and sat on him and people came to me and got me to do stuff as necessary. I worked him W/J/L both directions, did some bending and backing, leg yielding etcetera, and then stuck him back in his stall. I took him through the trail course before it opened up as I ended up keeping track of scores for our judge... And then I took him into a W/J WP class non-competitively and he was more pro than the majority of the other "broke" horses there.
He's still a bit underweight but he has gained a bunch of muscle and looks totally awesome! He's a sweet boy and I love to ride him because he's so smart, soft, and willing! I have a story involving us going trail riding too, but I'll post that in the next week or so when I have time! (Graduation, it creeps up on you).
I plan on getting a video of me riding him pretty quick, he looks fantastic... But for now, here are some pictures!
