We don't believe in sleep, just ask Chris Vilmer! I have been staying up late at lifesavers some nights. The first night I stayed over and played with Jenna and Tiny. Then last night I stayed late with Chris playing with Myagi. Let me break it down for you, as Jenna loves to say :) It was a blast and today I did not even open my eyes until ten. First Thursday night with Tiny all I did was watch. Tiny was wound up! Jenna asked me to ride him and I said next week because he was so wound up that I really did not feel like flying through the air just in case he decided to launch me. Jenna rode him bareback and he did good but really was quite up. Jenna worked him also on his in hand and WOW! It was nice despite Tiny being bratty. She had him soft in his yielding and he really looked good when he was doing what she asked. The other times he looked like a naughty horse full of piss and vinegar! She is going to come bring him to cows next week with me......
Then yesterday was so inspiring. We had a myagi marathon and I have not gotten the chance to play with him for quite awhile. Chris threw a loop over his head and then he haltered quiet. Let me tell you also that poor Chris was having heatstroke and several times looked like she might pass out so I asked to play with her horse. Once on line he was an angel; a very bored, unenthused angel but good and quiet never the less. I played with the flag but he handled it nicely and got over it quickly. I can not believe how much Chris has done with this hard horse! He was so good that I was inspired to throw a pad on him. He handled it so well that I threw a saddle on him and he didn't really care. I cinched it up and BOOM! Myagi got air! And that was the best bucking fiasco I have seen in awhile. He worked through it real quickly and then we played a little before I took it off. Then I told him that he needed to learn to halter without a rope around his head and that him and me where there for the long haul. I said whoa, walked to him with the halter and he ran. So I made him run until he wanted to stop. Then I walked up to him and said whoa and he ran. So we ran again until he wanted to stop. We did this until Myagi said enough and stood still for the halter for lots of times with Chris and I. Then we did ten thousand things like trailer load and teach myagi to tie. Wow! What a good boy but I can tell you this is not an easy horse in the slightest bit! Good job Chris!
