Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer, Do. . .

This was my last view of Daisy when I dropped her off at the trainer's on 4 May--six weeks ago. And this----was my first view of her today! Daisy under saddle. WOW. What a change. From a wild and free, spoiled rotten little filly to a fully outfitted school girl.
What a change. I really do think she recognized us. . . .
Drin said she wouldn't. . . .
This is her trainer, Patrick, getting ready to take her through her paces. Well, if you really want to know the truth, that little doggie in the background is the real trainer--he just lets Patrick help!
She sure looks beautiful.
We were amazed watching her how well she was doing. Not at all nervous nor even rambunctious--like she used to be!
And then-----the real test. A rider on her back. She was just as smooth and well-trained as she could possibly be--after six weeks. Get a load of that beautiful, awesome Montana mountain scenery. Wow! We really do live in God's country. The Last Best Place. Big Sky Country.
She's calm and well-trained. Patrick says she has a really nice even gait and is very comfortable to ride. We'll see.
She was just as smooth as silk--as was Patrick. To be able to ride like that. . . .
Obviously, she's had superb training. Two more weeks then she gets to come home.
So. Daisy, how do you like being all grown-up???
