Day 7 of the challenge and first ride in the arena

I had my first ride in the arena at the new facility. I lunged Artax to get him warmed up. He seems to be rusty on the left side of lunging. He can do the right side no problem and I can do the left side mounted. I know it's something that we can work on and I can add it to the challenge. Overall we had an excellent ride and I can't wait to take jumping lessons. Here's him in his new polo wraps after the ride

Day 6 of the challenge and new chapter

Today was day 6 of the 100 day challenge. During the challenge, it was also a new chapter and new beginning for us. Today was the day I moved Artax to Valley Chapel Farm. He is all laid back as ever. When he unloaded off the trailer, there was no snorting, no hollering, or any running around. As soon as I turned him loose, he took a nice roll in the mud, which he ended up getting all muddy. Here's pictures of him settling in and meeting the other horses on the other side.
