Fred had his first lesson and trail ride this week. He was very good for Jade during the lesson, she was just a bit timid of his size. She did go from a 15 hand appy to a almost 17 hand Saddlebred. She adjusted well and he tolerated her timidness like a champ.
Chris and I decided to take Charley and Fred on a trail ride together the other day, a bit weary of how Fred would behave. Not sure why because Fred is always impressing us with how relaxed he is. Of course he was very well behaved. He handled riding on the side of the street better than an actual trail. He wasn't too sure about the woods but still tried his hardest. Never flinched when cars passed or when we rode past other horses. All in all he got an A+!
Health/Weight wise he is doing great. His coat looks so much shinier and healthier than before and he gaining weight quite consistently. His back is quite low from not having the muscle to hold it up, he will probably always be sway backed but he doesn't seem to have any back pain from it. The photo is from his ride the other day.
Happy Trails!!
