The funny thing about young horses is that they always seem to make you do more work than they have to. I must have spent twenty minutes running around looking like an idiot and got Carnegie to trot all of ten steps. But it was ten steps more than yesterday! On the other hand the walking is really coming along, and walks like any other horse most of the time. The objective is to get Carnegie trotting in a straight line by Wednesday, so the prepurchase exam will run smoothly. I think we'll get there, with progress being made everyday, and hopefully we can start on some more challenging ground work soon. In the meantime, we'll be taking it nice and slow, and covering all our tracks. Tomorrow should be fun.... we'll see :)
