so i finally got off my lazy butt and worked cricket. I hadnt done anything with her for at least 4 weeks (mostly due to weather, and then partly due to the fact that i didnt feel like it lol). So she was pretty excited. But really all she did was snort around the round pen, had her tail up like an arab, and her head as high as it could go lol. But thats all, she calmed down right away. So then i decided to introduce her to the horse eating tarp. she is rather spooky of these kinds of things, so im gonna really work on getting her de-spooked. For the first day (today) all i did was, lightly tie the tarp to the panel (kinda made it like a banner at a rodeo) and then i just made her walk by it on each side until she would, go up to and stop at it, and then walk calmly by it. It only took maybe 15mins, i thought it was going to take a lot longer since there was a breeze, but she did really good. Im gonna probably just keep doing this for a week , then next week ill put it on the ground. Anyways here are some pics.

Mmm, gorgeous girl. She has really muscled up since I last saw pix of her. I absolutely adore her neck in that last picture, big and stout :D. Sounds like the two of you are getting along well (and I understand the lack of motivation feeling, the heat will do that to you).
