Max Photo Dump

 When I first got Max, Mike brought his camera to the barn and got some pictures of our first formal ride together. I knew these would be a "before" series some day.

A "good" moment from July 10th.

About six weeks later, I had Mike come back out for some progress photos. Unfortunately, I remembered the photographer, but not my bridle. Whoops! Luckily, Max is a good boy so I was comfortable bebopping around in just a rope halter. I decided to have Mike snap some pictures anyway. 

I'm glad I did! Even without a bridle, the difference in Max's body, way of going, and expression surprised me when I saw them on the screen. We were about 90 miles into our 100 mile trail walking challenge, and the miles were definitely making a difference!

August 28th. 

Max has been home almost three months. It will be interesting to get some updated photos in the near future. We have a lot to work on, but I think we're moving in the right direction.
