New Years with Beau, quiet just us

 Its really cool because, I did not really have anything to do except clean up from Xmas, watch TV nothinng stressful finally. 2025 could it be good?

Queit afternoon with the Turkeys, cats and Beau. Cleaning tack, stretching him muscles, staying warm in the barn. Sweeping up the ailse.

This year 2024 in life I was able to 

• Get Beau to pick up his feet by just tapping him
• I accomplished this by working in his paddock with him inn the fall, using the lead line around his ankle, it seem to make him aa little ashamed and then up in the paddock we worked on some basics together, not the arena.
• Realized the Beau loves his paddock, except during very hot summer buggy times.
• Lost the ability to do a round up in the arena
• Seems like Patti was at the barn, Beau will sort of show off when I am with him so that she stops over and looks at him. I think he really appreciates her and wants to show off for her sometimes.
• recognize the behavior in the arena
• There have been times where Beau will act aggressively with his body, sort of no respecting myspce. I have responnded by keeping safe and feeling like he wants to push me around
• this has eaten away at my confidance with him. I will stop our fun interctions ndput him in his stall. not sure if this is the best response but it keeps me from doing stomethig stupid.
• Got a new helmut, inexpensive and purpple tool I love it
• More relaxed at the gate since I was shoved
• Sprained my ribs weith Beau crashing the gate with Val Watchinngn
• Was able to take Val to one of the 4H shows where she really enjoys, I didnt get to the big show but maybe next year, fall
• Another Equinne Affaire with Valerie, she was. able to participate in the Kids Rodeo :)
•  Visualize me riding Beau but nott there, might start to work with him and a bit.
• Looking to start working with him in the arena with the bit
• Honestly I hate putting a bit in his mouth ever.
