Kodiak's First Ride...

Nat and I took Silver, Kodiak and Red Star out to Anasazi Ridge for Kodiak's first ride.  She's about one week shy of three months old (she was foaled on June 16th, 2011).  She did GREAT!  At the corrals she loaded herself into the trailer (just hopped right in!  The first two times we have loaded Kodi before, we've basically picked her up and put her in because she wasn't too thrilled with the idea of loading...).  She did great going over the equestrian step-over for the first time.  Simply looked at it and then jumped over.  (We had to "help" Stormy the first couple of times she went over.)  Kodiak runs beautifully.  She is going to be as smooth-riding as her mom.  AMAZING to watch!  Now, if Kodi could just learn to not always cut off her mom.  Nat would ride with her boot pushing on Kodi's side to keep her from pushing into Silverado.  It was a great ride!  Thanks, Nat!!
