Another[much BETTER] new adventure!

So, I haven't posted much, in a long time... So, I thought I should.. We moved barns. Yes, again! Why? I'm not trying to badmouth the other barn AT ALL. But my horse wasn't treated the way he should have been, and we weren't getting what we should have been for how much I was paying. But sometimes a lot of people don't have common sense.... Anyways, we moved to Circle K, about a week and a half ago, and so far so good! Such genuine, sweet, caring, and SMART horse people. I'm so glad I moved with Taylor out to Circle K, Copper and I are both really enjoying it. Although I am paying more out of pocket at this barn, which is somewhat killing me, I'm glad to be here.. [if anyone would like to donate to the help pay for Coppers board foundation, that'd be lovely (; hahahaha] He's gained weight since being there, and is looking SO much better. Weight issues are still one of our biggest struggles, but he's come SO far. 



At Circle K, Copper has a run off of his stall, and gets to go out in the pasture every other day. Which I really like because then I don't have to worry about him being too muddy every day. Although, he likes to drag his hay outside into his run, which makes the hay gross. haha! It's one of my pet peeves that he does. He's still learning to stand still when being tacked up, and taking the bit has been going a lot better. It's not perfect yet, but we're getting there..

He's so full of energy now that he's healthy and semi-fat. Which can make it difficult to work with him, but thankfully I have lots of people helping me out with him, and offering to help, Taylor, Danielle, Stacey. I need to take some lessons of my own to keep up with how much he's learning. Although, I'll say I've learned a lot, as well as him, he is just ahead of me now. He is such a smart horse, and he knows whats being asked, I just need to learn to ask it the way he knows to listen to it, and perform what I'm asking like he should. (: 

Anyways, so that's all for now. I'm really happy at the new barn, and excited for how well they care for horses, and how much Copper enjoys being in the stall next to his best friend, Ollie!
