Extreme Noble Makeover

Last week my friend Bekah, and her horse Noble came over for the whole entire week!!! it was so awesome! we spent the week training noble. and let me tell you, i think we did pretty good at the extreme makeover! for sake of my time and yours, i wont go into every detail, but i'll give you a little description of the week at the arena, and i loaded up a bunch of pictures at the bottom! some of the issues we wanted to address and solve were his major problem of

• aggression and disrespect.
  
• backing off the trailer (which was a big fear issue)
  
• standing above/jumping around him (which noble absoutly hated, and he would get really defencive about)
• touching in all places.
  

we got to the arena at 10am on Monday, all ready to go! first we started off just walking noble around and warming him up a little bit. then we took him outside to the outdoor round pen and did join up. it was really good. our first time ever trying it (actually Bekah's, i sat outside and watched) but it looked like a TON of hard work ;\ the first few days were all ground work, which is the best foundation ever for a horse!! the ground work is what really resolved a lot of the issues! then on Friday and Saturday we rode, (Saturday i brought Sapphire down and worked with her, and Bekah focused on Noble) we had a great time! everything was such a blast, but more than that, the week was filled with Gods grace, and faithfulness. everyday as we committed our works to the Lord, HE proved himself faithful, and established our thoughts! whenever we ran out of ideas of what to do with Noble, GOD would give us the inspiration! he gave us his strength and wisdom! the Lord is so wonderful. the whole week was completely the Lords work! and im so thankful for that! so enjoy all the picts! it never ceases to amaze me, how a camera can provide such great entertainment!

me and noble! (for some reason, in this picture i look like my cousin! i dont think i look like me at all! lol)

i love this picture! its great! Bekah you are so awesome!

me and Odidemous! hehe! (he was one of my favorite cats that were at the arena)

haha! Bekah fell asleep on the couch! (NOT-- such a faker! lol but pretty good at it!)

Bekah and Noble doing Join up!

Nicodemus was always sleeping in this exact spot, in this exact way! :P

Bekah and I with Boaz squished in the middle! (surprisingly he enjoyed it!)

me and Odidemous again! he was such a funny kitty! :D

self taken picts during lunch! lunch was always a great part of the day!! it was so fun to hang out in the lounge room right off the arena! great memories!

Nicodemus was a very selfish kitty! he was always trying to steal our precious lunch! >:(

Bekah and Noble right after the join up! dont noble look sweet!!!??? so does Bekah!!

>>> Now all the fun pictures! I died! yes so very sad wasnt it? Bekah did a pretty good job pulling off the crying ey? even though we were laughin our heads off!

This picture was SUPPOSED to be exactly like the pict before, BUT bekah and i each had different ideas! (with out even telling eachother) we each played our SUPPOSED part. but i had intended that as bekah was crying, i would be peaking out of the hat! on the other end, bekah thought the hat would be covering my face, and i thought she was crying when she was actually giving the thumbs up!!! it was so funny, that this happened that way! -- wait! i guess the old saying rings true! = great minds think alike! especially twins! ;) <3>

this one was fun! :) i love it!

arnt you terrified?? if not... you SHOULD be!! lol hehe!

this is probably the point in which you may think we lost our sanity, but rest assured, we gained it back the next morning! ;)

sweet, deer precious friends!

thanks Bekah for putting up with my bros, so that you could be my sister for the whole intire week! i had an amazing time! God is so good!
