Pretty Awesome Pony

He is a pretty pony...

...he is an awesome pony.

We went on a trail ride yesterday with Anne and Mona, and he was rock solid.  We've been having some mounting issues (but I think that's because I'm not doing the best job centering the treeless, so that's something I need to work on), but after that he was amazing.  He was a good sport, even when we had to become training accessories to Mona.  If I asked him to do something, he did so willingly.  He got much praise and many cookies slipped to him from the saddle, but after a while I ran out of cookies and he was still an awesome boy.

I really think that he's becoming more agreeable as a trail horse, as he no longer balks to taking detours or turn-arounds from home that would then make the trail ride longer.  Every now and then I get a slight "hey..." but he just as quickly obliges and we carry on.
