Avoiding Homework!!
I went and caught Banjo again today, and had way more fun then doing my homework (which i still haven't done.) lol.
Well..... he was a dream to catch, and he stood perfectly still while i worked out the ropes. I have no idea how i manage to tangle everything up so easy. I led him around again, and he was excellent, until.... until we went away from where i feed him, and down to the paddock. He just dead stopped, so in a circle we went. I think it took about 5 circles to get a metre. Hopefully i can find some time to work on that more, i doubt it though. After he over come the fact that he lost, Dad started welding! & he reacted like you would expect any horse to, but i kept him under control. I let him look at it for abit then went back behind the shed so he couldn't see it. And i finished it off with a good brush, which ended up with me covered in more hair then him!!!

Moving Forward
I can't decide what to title this, so i'll leave it blank for now...
Finally, i am moving forward, but 'm still not sure if i'm making a mistake selling Banjo or not. I want to ride sooooooooooo much, but i'm completely unsure if selling Banjo and getting another horse is a waste of time or not. But i'm willing to try and see, this is the one thing i am not going to give up so easy on.
I had one of my impulse moments today, and ended up catching Banjo, - this is like the first time in a long time he's worn a halter. He even waited patiently for me to untangle the mess i made with the halter and lead. I seem to be in the habit (somehow) or leading him before i do anything else with him. Once again we had a little argument, but that was easy fixed after a couple of circles. He lifted his feet like a dream, well the front ones anyway, i haven't got the confidence to handle his back feet much. i spent about 20 minutes trying to get some of his winter coat off, but the more time i spent on it the more hair seemed to appear!!! I really wished i took a before and after photo!!! I'll just have to settle for an after photo. LOL.
Ummm.... what else..... oh yeah, how can i forget some one is interested in buying Banjo, and the best part is they are local!!!!!! YAY.... I just hope that his minor issues don't send them away.
