Thought I'd give everyone a little update.

His teeth seem fine now, his owner said they were floated about 2 weeks ago. She did say his mouth looked a little red in parts, but she wasn't sure if that could have been causing the problem. Anyways, he seems fine now!

I've been having trouble getting his bridle on for the past few days, but today he seemed to know I wasn't in the mood to mess around with him. (It was so hot out!) I got his bridle on him on my first try with a little help of a peppermint.

I have to get a picture of him doing some of his tricks. He knows so many! He will stick his tongue, smile, shake his head, bow, give kisses, and give his paw. I got him to do almost all his tricks today, the only ones I didn't try were 'paw' and 'bow'.

My jumping lesson with him went well, too. We only did some small ones because I hadn't jumped him yet. He was such a good boy! The only time we missed a jump was when his owner came up to the fence and we both got a bit distracted. My mom said she'll try to get some pictures of us jumping next week.

Sorry for such a long update, but I'm just having so much fun with him! There is more I'd write, but I don't want to bore all of you with it!

Wow, Garth is GORGEOUS!! Congratulations Chrissy, he's absolutely beautiful, and you're so lucky to have him!! Oh, I wish I had better jumping days...I jumped an appy/thoroughbred cross yesterday and he usually jumps really well, but he was a MANIAC and would not jump for anything!! Then when I got a crop out, he about dumped me flying over the jumps! haha

Thanks!

Atleast you got him going over the jumps. Some of the school horses where I ride won't move for ANYTHING!
