π΄πΆπ€ GOOD MORNING! ANOTHER BUSY WEEKEND AT LEGG'S EQUESTRIAN! π€πΆπ΄
Well, yesterday was another busy day, and today isn't looking much quieter! π
Yesterday morning started with a lesson with Spider, before I headed into Palmy for a quick catch-up with Mum.
While catching up, we've decided we're going to do a 10-week dog obedience course! πΆ
I'll be taking Evie, my Heading Dog, who I actually bought for hunting. Unfortunately, she's only been out on a few hunts, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to get her doing something different.
And of course, little Mia, my Mini Foxy, will be joining us too! π
I actually think Mia could be really good at agility, if I can somehow contain all that energy! π€£
So naturally, yesterday afternoon both dogs got put to work!
πΆ First up was Evie!
We worked on teaching her to heel. She's usually pretty good with this, as she used to come running with me, but unfortunately encounters with off-lead dogs in an on-lead area ruined that for Evie, Mia and myself.
We also worked on the down stay, which was a HUGE achievement for Evie because she's naturally quite a weak dog.
I was really pleased with how she went! π€
πΆ Then it was Mia's turn!
Oh my goodness, the energy in this little pocket rocket is absolutely insane! π€£π
She absolutely loved being back doing some training, and even though she was completely pooped by the end of it (all of about five minutes! π), she picked things up right where we'd left off quite a while ago.
Now I need to start looking at more things for Mia to work on, because that little brain definitely needs keeping busy!
π΄ NOW ONTO TODAY!
I've woken up to rain this morning! π§οΈ
Not exactly ideal, but luckily my lesson with Spider is in an indoor arena, so at least we won't be getting soaked during that!
Unfortunately, the rain isn't quite so ideal for Legg's Equestrian's first little outing with products today at the RADRs ride in Tangimoana.
But that's all part of the fun of getting out there, meeting new people and starting to grow this little business! π€
I'm still really excited, rain or shine! π¦π΄
And hopefully, when the next RADRs ride comes around in November, Mum and I will be there with horses rather than just products! ππ΄
For now, it's time to get moving. Spider has a lesson to attend, and then I've got a ute full of products ready to take to Tangimoana!
Who else is up early this wet Sunday morning? π§οΈβπ΄
