Josh Turner Concert




Hey guys! I don't know if you've ever heard of Josh Turner, but he is a really good country singer! I have the song "Why Don't We Just Dance" on my little song player thing which is by him, and I have a lot of other songs of his on my iPod. My family and I got to go to a concert of his in Milwaukee, here are some pictures! And sorry for the sideways ones...I can't get to face the right way!!!! haha

Justin Morgan Had a Horse


I just read this book, Justin Morgan Had a Horse! It is a really good, easy-read book that is about the first Morgan horse. I was really interested in it because my horse is a Morgan! You all should really check it out!

Lunging

Today I went to the barn my horse (Summer) is boarded at and I hadn't ridden her in a while so I thought I should lunge her first. I don't know if you know what lunging is or not, but all it is is that you take a lunge line and clip it to one of the sides of the horse's halter and then put the rest of the lunge line in one of your hands. Then you take a long whip and hold it in your other hand (the free hand which will be closer to the horse's back end). I just figured out today that my horse really doesn't know how to lunge at all! I thought she was just being naughty, but I figured out that she just doesn't know how to do it! The main point is to be by the horse's hip or close to his/her back end and then get the horse to move in circles around you while you hold the lunge line. Now, since she doesn't know how, I have to keep the lunge line really short so she'll learn. This must sound very confusing...so here's a video showing how it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWDKLX1uXlg It explains it a little better also! Have a great day and, hopefully, learn how to lunge your horse! :)
