October Journal Entry
This is our very first monthly journal! Please submit your entry by October 31st at 11:59 PM. Each journal must be at least 250 words and should include updates on your horse’s progress, challenges, and breakthroughs. This is the good, the bad, and the ugly if you will. Be sure to attach conformation photos from all four sides of your horse, along with a 2–5 minute video showing their progress this month.
I want you to be completely honest in these journals. This is about learning, growing, and documenting the real journey with your horse so you can share it later on. I recomend keeping a running record of your journal wether that be written in a physical journal or on a platform like excel or doc. I’ll be giving feedback on each entry, and some journals may even be highlighted on our Homes for Horses social media.
The first month with Tinkerbell has been going really great so far. In her first couple of weeks being in her new home I did have a few minor struggles like her not wanting to pick up her front feet and also her not wanting lunge let alone doing anything faster then a walk. As of today all of those minor issues have pretty much been resolved Tinker now lunges with no problems and is now willing to lift her front feet. Some of the things we are still working on are being sprayed with fly spray, standing still when being hosed off, having water put on her face and, standing still when being tied up. I have also just recently started introducing obstacles to her like a tarp, ball pit, umbrella and, a fan with streamers attached to it and almost every one I have thrown her she does with ease. It has truly warmed my heart and made me so happy to see Tinkerbell slowly come out of her shell and show her true quirky self. I now get to look forward to all of her little happy winnies when it’s time for her to get her food in the morning. Tink has truly become part of my crazy family and has been accepted into my sassy show heifers world. I have had a blast with Tinkerbell so far and can’t wait for her to continue to open up and to learn many new things along the way.
