Sinatra’s gone to training! He gets to live in a beautiful pasture with another 3 year old — the two of them immediately hit it off and were getting along famously…

He’s done great in his first two days of training! Yesterday they groomed him, bridled him and started teaching him how to lunge. Today he wore a saddle and did more lunging, and he was absolutely unfazed by the saddle. He was so calm that the trainer actually was able to lean over his back and have her helper lead him around. He’s super, super easy and mellow to work with. Afterwards, he got a bath, which he really needed.

The only bad news is that he had to be separated from his pasturemate because the other horse ate Sinatra’s tail. It was already half gone because Lola had been chewing on it before he left, but I guess the other horse mostly finished it off and its about at hock level right now. At least this horse grows hair like no tomorrow so I am sure he will have his tail back soon enough.
