Spitfire once
again tests Uncle
Lodi's patience.

are taken just
after her second
birthday at Ember
Ridge.

Got Poop?

To my knowledge, Spit and Whispa are not
related but sometimes, when Spit is making
Whispa-like faces, they sure look like it.

October 1, 2008:
Spitfire's gone to
camp!
I moved Spitfire to a
ranch with an 80 acre
pasture. She was out
with the herd of 20-25
horses and despite
being a little lost at
first, she quickly
learned how to fit in.

Spit waiting for her turn at the water trough. She is learning
patience.

Imagine how happily surprised I was to come out
and find Spit was still wearing her flymask!

I brought Spitfire home from Castro
Valley Spring of 2009 worked her
over the summer and then turned her
out in a new pasture in Fremont. It's
a smaller pasture, just five acres, but
she was with Uncle Lodi and only 3
other horses.

These pictures are from the second clinic with Mark that I took Spitfire to. The first clinic we refined her lunging and introduced the idea of long
lining. This clinic we ground drover her naked the first day, then with a saddle on the second day and introduced her to a bridle. She was doing
so well, we hooked the long lines to the bridle and drove her from the bit. She accepted everything as if she's been doing it forever.

Spitfire's fourth birthday party:

She got started under saddle.
Since starting her, I've had no
resistances, no fighting, no
bucking. She has worked hard
to understand what I am asking
from her each time I work with
her.
