Rain - progress - working gate - being mounted - Stand-Stay - 7 Dec 2023

Rain the Spotted Saddle Horse started in training 18 Oct 2023 and this video was shot on 7 Dec 2023. She is not to the point yet where she can work the gate perfectly but she is trying and in an imperfect way she does get it done. You are also able to observe her on Stand-Stay a couple of times and standing still for mounting a couple of times. So this allows you to see progress at 7 weeks and 1 day of training. To get a horse "well started" requires a minimum of 3 months (generally 13 weeks) of training with the vast majority of that training occurring outside the arena gaining REAL life experience putting on REAL miles going somewhere. As of 7 Dec 2023 Rain has logged 117.3 miles on roads and trails while in training. For most horses these days that would require being shod all around but Rain currently has good enough hooves that she has done it barefoot on gravel and asphalt roads along with across stony fields.

Remember to intentionally, on purpose, learn of God each day by prayerfully reading, studying, and pondering upon God's word each day. Talk to God in prayer as your Heavenly Father who would like for you to be His friend. Find out what He would like you to do for Him as His friend and go and do it for Him as His friend. Yes very intentionally, very much on purpose, become the friend of God. And have a blessed day!!
