Raj, interested

Raj, interested, originally uploaded by Guillaume de Garrigues.

Guillaume posted this photo of Raj at his first practice. he is watching intently as other horses run rings and the tilt...

he did ok with funny clothes and barding and the equipment itself but wasnt thrilled with sticks, especially sticks that move around his head, and extra especially metal rings sliding down sticks.

we did some de-sensitization and interspersed it with liberal doses of running around the woods like crazy things on fire. woohoo!

today I am very sore :). I blame the weapons handling, cuz I ride six hours a day every sunday and dont usually ache like this afterwards! still, its good for me :)

PS...you can see why I call him marshmallow nose. it positively GLOWS white!
