For my birthday, I was given the gift of 8 more round pen panels. This meant I could create a round pen in Sabi's pasture for us to work in, for me to build confidence while riding him. But the pen is not exactly round. It's roundish. It's under a large oak tree, and there are some space constraints due to permanent structures such as trees and a canopy that are preventing said pen from being truly "round". Unfortunately, this is probably the ONLY place on this entire property where I can put it. There really is nowhere else that is open enough that would not be in the blazing sun without a drop of shade. And I want some shade, doggone it.
So we'll make the roundish pen work. Maybe it won't be as boring for him as a truly round pen. No mindless circle. He'll have to think about those slight angles. Well, he gets bored easily anyway so maybe this is for the best.
