Oreo has returned from Jody's, and now has a new rider for a month or so, just a few times a week, to consolidate his learning. Luisa has come all week, and today had a lesson with Jody in the heat (no exaggeration) of the day. Oreo looked very flash because Luisa brushed out his 10 tails, along with the rest of him, and he looked bery smart for his lesson. Very proud of how my pony is going, and definitely think he will make me a nice Debbie horse in the long term... maybe even in the short term - he is taking to this riding thing like a duck to water!
