Awesome. Looking forward to it! 

Did I hear ES20 rope horse program in this video? :)

We had a week of snow/ice (in north Alabama), then a week of 4-5 inches of rain after the snow melted. Needless to say, not much riding the past couple weeks. Did manage to drag the arena and get back in the saddle last night. I'm ready for warmer/longer days!

Richard Boatwright also I was thinking Gists Fifty King was at creek plantation also…but maybe I’m wrong. 

Richard Boatwright Yep, that’s correct. I’m looking forward to starting them early next year. 

Richard Boatwright No, the stallion of these fillies is CV King Forty Seven. His dad was Gists Fifty King, then Gists High King and Cow Bo Country on the stallion side. The dam side is Miss King Forty Five (daughter of Cow Bo Country and Anabelle Kay). 

Richard Boatwright My wife’s great uncle breeds the king line here in north Alabama…Cedar Valley Farms. They are CV King Forty Seven out of Gists Fifty King on the top side and three different king mares on the bottom. Really nice fillies. 

Good here in north Alabama. Finally got some much needed rain last night. I've been riding my young colt very consistently over the last month and it's really starting to pay off. He's a lot of fun to ride. Also, got 3 new foundation bred (high % king) fillies that I'm looking forward to starting in the spring of next year. 

Richard Boatwright First ride since the incident went very well today. Did some ground work first then a ride with no issues...so hopefully we are back to progressing again. 

Richard Boatwright Hey Richard...thanks for checking in. I've worked with him a bunch on the ground the last week or so...lots of ground work and ground driving. I made me a new set of drive lines and over the last few days have actually gotten a good bit better with managing the lines, so that's been a good exercise for me as much as him. 

We haven't had any more issues working from the ground. I suspect if I had done a little ground work before I climbed on last time, if he was going to pop his cork, it would have happened before I climbed on. Lesson learned on my part. 

My next session I plan to try and ride him again. My plan is to just keep it slow and have a few short sessions, trot circles things like that to try and have a few positive rides for the both of us before we start trying to progress further...unless you have some other ideas on what I should do.

Thanks again for checking in. I was planning to publish an update later this evening.
