Jester was going to be doing some schooling today. It appeared that no matter what the results of the final leg of the Bagarre Prospect Series, we had it in the bag. We were ready, and willing. We were going to lead him beside a pony horse on the turf today, something that would definitely help him in the future. I lead the colt on to the turf, to see Jacey on board Viz, waiting to lead the colt down the turf. I grinned and handed him to her. He snorted, and as he walked beside Viz, he snorted, bucking a little.
After a walk up the turf beside the horse, Jester settled. He was getting used to it, and he played with his bit. When Jacey asked Viz to trot, Jester leapt forward a little, before settling alongside the five-year-old. He moved swiftly along, powering himself across the surface as they broke into a canter. Jester pricked his ears and stayed alongside Viz. He whinnied and after a canter, they brought him back to a walk.
I decided I would take him to the gate and see what he would do. I took hold of him on the floor and walked him over to it. He pricked his ears, looking at the light on the other side from the other open gate, and he walked straight through. I patted him and gave him a mint, before taking him back to his stall.
