Chester Bean's training progresses...and it looks like six may be his best year yet. He is becoming more consistent under saddle...I generally get the same type of ride out of him from day to day. The left lead is coming along nicely, although it takes a little more effort on his part (and mine) to keep it all the way together.
The biting during showmanship has lessened...thank goodness!
Last week, I shortened Chester's mane and clipped his face. He'll be wearing his lighter turnout sheet soon, as long as the temperature stays moderate. His legs will be clipped soon, as well.
Our first show of the year is in six (!) weeks...just halter and showmanship. Our first show under saddle will be at the end of May. I can't wait!
