INVOKING THE PAUSE....

Earth wind and Fire are taking their toll...the daily recordkeeping has suffered. There is time for everything, the coppersmith#900 is under saddle after having been longlined and driven and ponied through the mountains, he did not offer any bucks or resistance and is quietly walking and bending...He is wearing the old Abetta saddle and a copper-roller snaffle - His head carriage is beautiful, even though right now he is really busy with the mouth and the bit....He is also starting to understand ALTITUDE and it's challenges, with 8000 feet we are at lung capacity quick...he is by himself (and as I had anticipated more attached to me )now he has to pay attention to the nightly wildlife...His diet is grass, hay, some grain apply and carrot...He is sensitive over his ears and around his muzzle...the wind has stopped tonight and we will all get a goodnight's rest...
