August 13 - Gidget, Gunner,

Phoned and talked to Jason about Gidget. He said Gidget has been lunged...so he said to do that...at least for 1/2 hr...and then ride. She has also been ridden with other horses so I asked about riding with Bailey and Skeena and he said that would be a perfect match up because Skeena is very calm. They are also pasture pals now.

Also asked about showing in Great Falls. He said Gunner is way too green to show there...plus the fact that he is already on his way home.

He said he is having a hard time with Gunner's studdiness. Said that even after being ridden hard for 2 hrs and then showing in Moose Jaw he was still bouncing all over the place, talking away. And when showing his attention wasn't always 100% on the cow...but on the other horses at times. He is hoping that another 2 weeks of really hard work will get it under control enough to do well at Olds etc. God I hope so!!!
