1st trail ride away from home. He did great!

We went down in a really fast creek, after 5" of rainfall last night. Cochise is very willing and level headed.  Check out the gallery photos. Awesome!

 
I took Cochise to Warrensburg Rodeo tonight and ponyed him around and in arena, then rode him in parking lot in the dark. He was bug eyed at first cause everyone was shaking out lariot loops and running around like crazy. Then he calmed down. Kids even running behind him! <~Diana Thebo~>
 
Cochise turn 360 degree on a pallet top without a halter.  Check out the gallery pictures.

Yee Haw, first ride down the road without being ponyed, and we trotted!!

Trail ride through the woods, ponying out the driveway first, down the rode, and then once they stepped into the wood Natasha handed the rope back to Diana and they were riding free.  Cochise rode great for his first time not being being ponied, even to the lead a few times. check out the gallery.

Sunset ride and the temp was cool, couldn't ask for a more beautiful ride and Bryan's cam got part of us.  We'll have to learn to ride closer. :) It is Diana on Niko up front and me on Cochise being ponyied.

Tonight, I drove to Diana's without a horse to ride with her.  I rode Niko for a while and ponyied Cochise in the arena, then she ponyied me in the arena.  Oh, then we left the arena.  Diana ponyied Cochise out on the open trail, through the woods, over the logs, up hills, down hills, and I got to ride him...let me tell you I am on cloud NINE!  He is an awesome horse and I didn't have a worry at all, I did wear my helmet too, but not a worry. Diana has done great with him and despooking.  We even stopped on the trail and changed out Bryan's deer camera chip, so hopefully we got pictures to download later.
