Copper gets a shower :P

So today, I decided it was time to give Copper a bath for the first time since I've had him! He did WAY better than I could ever imagine. He stood there, and wasn't even phased by the water. Although, I'm sure it felt very refreshing for him after the warm day we had, but I was still pleased on how well he did! Flyspray seems to bother him, but that big shot of water doesn't. I have the strangest horse, EVER.
Anyways, here's a picture from today--

Pretty soon we'll be riding! (thanks to Danielle helping me out so much!) I ordered a saddle pad today, should be here in 3-12 days.... so in reality 2 weeks. But until then, I guess we'll just work with what we got :)

The start of it all!

Seven months ago I got a horse named Copper. He's the sweetest most caring horse ever. Of course, we got him at a terrible time, It was snowing and the weather just sucked and playing softball and being around so many other horses (7 other horse)  didn't help us bond good at first,but  he would almost always come running to the fence as soon as he saw me<3 But we ended up moving out to our own place, out in Ferndale and it's been complete peace and total bonding time with him. He's been acting so much better. Although he is still stubborn, but what horse isn't :P I can't wait to show everyone the improvements we have been making already and continue to make! My somewhat "cousin" ( not sure what exactly she is to me, but we grew up together when I was younger) anyways, she's been helping me out SO much already. And I'm excited for her to continue to help me. She makes it fun, and she shows me and teaches me, rather than just doing it for me. Anyways, here are two videos already showing how much better he's doing :)


Here's the first day Danielle and I started working with Copper, 7/21
