Well the year is finally winding down and on 12/5/08 we picked up Zorro from being trained at the university of Findlay by Katie Myers. Katie did a very nice job starting Zorro out for us. he takes his leads well and backs and pivots. We got to take a ride on him before bringing him home for a month for xmas vacation and then in Jan he will be returning for the spring semester.  We are excited to watch him mature and his training progress. There are videos of Zorro on the video page off my site with my first ride on Zorro and hoping in a couple of days to have video of Zorros trainer in the finals with him. As many of you know Bikers and I have been in training for hunter jumpers for about 3 months being instructed by Robert Wayner. On 12/9/08 was the first day we actually put a pattern together with 4 jumps.  I think it is more difficult for me to remember the jumping  order than it is for Bikers to make the jumps. But i think we are both enjoying ourselves and it really teaches you to use your legs and body position for control.
