Well, I made myself promise I wouldn't bug Justice 100 times a day. So, I just kinda sent a text message to see what was in store for Psymin over the next week. She texted back, asking if she could call.

Psymin has been VERY busy!!!! Today was a major day for him. He got his lip tattoo today. While he was not very impressed with that process, he was managable and they got the job done. He likes to try to rear when he doesn't want to do anything, but Justice handles him and he settles down.  Then, he also worked off of the pony horse for the first time.  Justice said that he wanted to rear and bite at first, but she schooled him and he walked nicely.

They went to the track for the first time. Psymin was ponied by Ryan and his gelding.  Justice seems to think that the ambulance scared Psymin and he started to jerk away from Ryan. Ryan let him go and he just kinda circled around the pony horse. Ryan gathered him up and off they went. He is trotting with the pony horse!!!! I am SO excited!  Psymin was last ponied off of Chantilly when he was still a suckling. Looks like he has remembered how to do it.

Over the next couple weeks, he will go "back tracking" and will work upto being galloped with the pony horse. After he's confident with that, it will be saddle up time.

While this was a WHOLE lot to be introduced to his juvinile mind, Justice is pleased with the way that Psymin has taken to everything. He is learning fast and is really beginning to trust and bond with her. I am thankful for that. He is eating well and all systems are GO. He is keeping his stall tidy, which Justice likes.  He should be getting his shoes in a couple of weeks. He won't need them as soon as I thought - not until he's working with a rider.

That's all for today! I go to see Psymin on Sept 12th. There's a big stakes race that night for CLUNK so we'll be there to cheer him on!!
