There are still lots of challenges in our way -- hind end throughness, balance, being an accordion -- but we have been making leaps and bounds lately. You will get there! I may have been sulky during, but I will never regret the time I took to build this pony right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-60821415630032364622014-11-08T13:39:28.730-07:002014-11-08T13:39:28.730-07:00I sympathize, Fawkes is also not super interested ...I sympathize, Fawkes is also not super interested in pleasing me. He doesn't object to making me happy but it is not his primary goal in life and some days he wants to push his own agenda. And why do they have to make us work All. The. Time??

Sorry you're kind of stuck. You will work through it though so don't feel discouraged! <br /><br />I've actually really enjoyed the cooler weather (but not the rain!!!!) because Chrome is so lazy, but the weather has him feeling more energetic. I love it. :D Thankfully his gerbils are staying on the wheel. He is slightly spookier than usual, but nothing we can't handle. I hope as you settle into a winter routine that Courage chills out again. Keep up the great work!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-3497757070897791342014-11-06T18:12:50.300-07:002014-11-06T18:12:50.300-07:00at least his 'innocent face' is super ador...at least his 'innocent face' is super adorable! and still looks great in that bridle :)emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-21450557039511632142014-11-06T16:25:56.600-07:002014-11-06T16:25:56.600-07:00**I pressed enter before I could finish** It's...**I pressed enter before I could finish** It's just a bump in the road!

The good moments are magic. The hacking ability will come, if you keep at it. If you can't that day, don't worry about it. Not fighting with them is so much better than fighting because you "have to." At least, that's been my experience. <br /><br />I think you're doing a great job with this little guy. He's clearly an independent pony, used to being at the top of the food chain. But, he's kind, and you're capable. You'll get there. :)Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-57642173285258599122014-11-06T07:07:24.973-07:002014-11-06T07:07:24.973-07:00My problems are similar but not the same but still...My problems are similar but not the same but still related, I am so totally with you on this.
