Fun and Games
Life is full of play and frivolity for the foals here at Argento. The boys are practising their stallion moves and Rosa keeps them in order!
And that’s a wrap for the foals training this year until they are weaned. Today was the last of their vaccinations, a revision of their leading, tying up, backing in hand in preparation for float training which will commence once they are weaned.
Tbis is Argento Hidalgo a Spanish CDE colt who will mature around the 17hh mark. He is by the magnificent imported stallion Joselito de Arroyo out of Wallaroo Agatha who is by World ranked and Olympic Bronze medallist eventer CP Qualified.
“Ollie” is a calm and exceptional young colt who is easy to train and simply glides over the ground. He will be available upon weaning and will make an outstanding performance horse.
This time it is the beautiful bay PRE filly Argento Airosa (Joyero JFIII x Majestic Mireya) first tying up lesson. What a little superstar she was.
We do not believe in hard tying our foals here at Argento. In our opinion the damage that can possibly happen to their cervical spine and the chain reaction throughout their body if they pulled back when hard tied can be catastrophic for the rest of their lives. Each foal is taught to yield to the lightest pressure at the end of the leadrope.
The start of learning how to be tied up. This is lesson no 1 for Archie “Argento Arquero”.
Argento Arquero PRE grey colt (Joselito de Arroyo x Majestic Bodecea) is coming along beautifully in his lessons. This lovely colt is very switched on and learns everything extremely well in a calm and relaxed manner. Today was also vaccination and worming day with absolutely no problems with either apart from a funny face with the taste of the worming paste but a drink from Mum soon washed all that away!
Last but not least today is the beautifully elegant and tall “Argento Hidalgo” grey Spanish CDE colt. Ollie flows over the ground with catlike grace and athlericism in all four paces. He is a calm and sweet natured colt bred in the purple to be an outstanding performance horse. Combining PRE, warmblood and thoroughbred bloodlines into one beautiful foal.
Ollie is expected to mature around the 17hh mark. (Joselito de Arroyo (imp) x Wallaroo Agatha x CP Qualified). Available upon weaning
Argento Airosa PRE bay filly (Joyero JFIII x Majestic Mireya) is learning to be led from both sides, follow the feel and walk calmly and quietly in this lesson. She is a very calm and grounded filly who quietly takes it all in as she processes what she is being taught.
Argento Arquero “Archie” PRE grey colt (Joselito de Arroyo x Majestic Bodecea) is a lovely calm colt who engages in all his training and takes all new experience calmly and quietly.
You know the foals are happy with learning new things when after they have their little session they hang around to watch the others from the other side of the fence! 😊
Argento Arquero PRE grey colt (Joselito de Arroyo (imp) x Majestic Bodecea) is checking out the “chaff bag of noises” for the first time. The gentle curiosity is typical of this lovely colt who has the most exceptional, trainable temperament. Archie is our fourth Joselito foal to three different mares and one repeat mating - each of the foals have had outstanding temperaments and are very correct in their movement and conformation.
Day 2 of kindergarten and the foals have the experience of feeling their first head collar. The rope is not attached to it as yet but they are still being guided by the pressure applied and released as they soften by the rope around their neck. To introduce them to the feel of the lead rope being attached to the head collar, the lead rope is threaded through the base of the halter. Argento Arquero PRE grey colt (Joselito de Arroyo x Majestic Bodecea) is doing outstandingly well with all these new concepts. He is calm, relaxed and very soft through his mind and his body. He got lots of ⭐️⭐️⭐️ today!
Argento Hidalgo thought Mum might give him some tips about this lesson but then decided to channel his Eventing bloodlines to sort it out himself! (Joselito de Arroyo x Wallaroo Agatha)
Argento Airosa (Joyero JF IIi x Majestic Mireya) brought herself into the yard for her first lesson. Her dam Mireya was too busy eating about 50m away and Rosa stood and watched the colts being handled and then had it all worked out when it was her turn.
Kindergarten has started today for the foals. They were all calm and relaxed. This is “Argento Arquero’s” very first lesson and he was fabulous. (Joselito de Arroyo x Majestic Bodecea)
Off to a fresh paddock for the mares and foals today. They know the rountine well and tootle along taking a leisurely stroll to their destination.

And this is foal yoga working on their posture and also it may explain why I am forever picking up sticks and twigs in the paddocks! Demonstration given by Archie, “Argento Arquero” 🤣💙
