Zee Zee
Today was my new Paso Fino Zee Zee's 6th ride. She was so much better today than she has been, today we only had a couple of balks and temper tantrums which is a remarkable improvement over the way she has been working. Her previous owners did such a good job with her that I haven't had to do much ground work with her at all and have been able to just get on with the riding portion. We are still in a walk but thats ok I want her to be comfortable with being ridden before I ask for anything else.
Zee Zee is such a sweet girl but I feel so bad for her. All her life she lived at one place and had the best life kept on pasture 24 hours a day being brought in a stall just for feed and treats. Here, she is in a stall with an attached paddock and turned out to a sparse pasture for only a couple of hours a day. She eats twice as much feed as Sudden does, won't eat the alfalfa and picks at the coastal. She lost a little bit of weight because of this but seems to be putting it back on now. I have never had a horse not like alfalfa and I hope she eventually decides its good as I would rather over feed hay than over feed horse feed.
