Progress overload!

Today was a fantastic day. Absolutely great! Vesta made so much progress, it was unbelievable! I went out for a short trust session this morning and started by using my stick method on her right side, which seems to be her better side. After about 10 minutes of that I was able to walk right up to her ( slowly mind you) and rub her neck on that side without the stick. I ended that session there because she did so well. This afternoon, I went out to work on her left side. It took some time but in the end I was able to go up to her with out the stick and rub her neck on that side. After all this I sat outside and read aloud which she seemed to enjoy. I noticed she laid down and rolled but remained on the ground and I was slightly worried she was colicky since she was laying down for so long. So I went in the pen to try to get her up and she let me come right over to her and rub her neck and face while she was laying down. This blew me away that she trusted me that much. She eventually got up and started walking around again. All in all it was a fantastic day and we made so much progress! I am going to post loads of picture so enjoy!

 This is one of the only photos I will post a comment on, she was so curious about the camera she came right up to my mom and sniffed it! Not scared at all.

This is how you tame a horse!
