_~* Ivory Update *~_ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Intro ~ Ivory Arrived at Arrow-A a few months ago, but hasn't been ridden very much. When she arrived we gave her a little tour, and allowed her to get used to the barn. She wasn't to happy with moving in the first few weeks, so she only got bathed and cared for, riding was out of the question. Although after a month and a half of staying here, I decided she needed to start working. I decided I wanted Ivory to be specifically trained in XC, due to her love of jumping over the hay we would put in her pasture. I would put on her tack and put her on a lunge line every now and then to help her get used to the weight. And after two weeks of working on the lunge line, here we are training! [ paragraph included in all updates ] ~ ~ ~ Cross Ties ~ I walked her into one of the open slots, and clipped the cross ties onto her halter. The second I clipped both of them on she threw her head high, up and out of reach. I grabbed a Curry-Comb and got some of the sand-like-dirt out of her coat before grabbing the brush. I brushed her down [ with a few complaints from Ivory ] and traded my brush for a Hoof-Pick she showed just how much she hated it by stepping left and right so I couldn't pick her hoofs. "Stop it!" She grabbed my shirt in response and started munching on it. "I'm starting to wonder why your a drama-queen." I said while narrowing my eyes at her. She snorted and threw her head up high. I rolled my eyes, then started picking out her hooves, although I took a hot moment due to her constant fits. "There! Look, I'm done with your hoofs!" I said with raising my hands in the air, it drew an approval from Ivory. "Now... Time for tack!" I grinned, while Ivory stomped her hoofs. "Don't worry, it'll be different this time! Promise!" I rush to the tack room before she could respond. I grabbed her XC tack and brought it out to some posts I could rest it on. She eyed the tack with disgust while I grabbed her saddle pads, and placed them on her back, I went to grab her saddle when I heard a crash from behind me. I looked back to see Ivory throw her saddle pads off. "Ivory!" I groaned "Stop it!" I put her saddle pads back on and held them there while I grabbed her saddle, girth, and martingale. I put on her saddle, and hooked up her girth, making sure to slip the martingale on it. She eyed me then grabbed my shirt again. "Shoo!" I waved my hands at her to make her stop munching on it. "I'll be blessed if I can even get on for five minutes today." I sighed, then grabbed her boots. Ivory didn't seem to mind the boots [ thank goodness ] and allowed me to put them on. I slipped on her ear bonnet, and was quick to put on her bridle before she could protest. She snorted after I slipped it on, "Yeah, Yeah." I replied. I grabbed the reins and headed outside to mount. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I apologize, I didn't make the update perfectly accurate to the writing! I also apologize for changing a few things such a as her halter. Although I hope you enjoy it all the same!
