Someone got his first bath today!

04/12/2024

First time eating on the trailer and Kronk was a pro! Only took about 10 minutes to get all four feet on and he was definitely relaxed enough to eat. He even backed out and did great with “step!” As an indication he was at the edge of the trailer. This guy continues to amaze me with how aware and cautiously willing he is!

He’s still available!

This little man couldn’t be more perfect!

I am so happy with this gentle giant, he may have earned the nickname Duke of Derp. He’s gotten so much more poised and relaxed, and is absolutely the most cuddly stallion I have ever met.

I haven’t put anything on his back for most of six months (where did that time go?!) and this is how he was yesterday. He honestly kept looking at me like “would you just do the thing already? 🙄”

We have a baby!!

I was doing some massage with derp and he was showing some signs that he wanted to lay down, pawing and walking in circles, so I went out into the paddock. He still wanted to lay down but wasn’t finding a spot he liked. I wondered what he would do if I asked him to lay down, and he laid right down.

This big guy has hit 16.3 hands 😳

Time for someone to start learning a new skill! Derp did great with his first time in a harness, walking around, and ground driving too. This guy has matured so much in the last year it blows my mind. He’s softened and started to realize nothing I ask him to do is going to be dangerous or painful, and even more that when he’s sweet and gentle he gets so many more cookies than if he gives in to any anxiety.

Why would I get on a just started horse, who tends to get nervous and buck, ba****ck with a bit-less bridle?

Well because that’s how he’s most comfortable, and the horses comfort is paramount to their learning. A relaxed horse will be more willing to accept aids and less likely to panic when they’re faced with a question they’ve never been asked before or a startle. This horse in particular, my stallion Duplikated Edition, is very sensitive and requires a lot of reassurance. As a result he is much more comfortable without a saddle as he can truly feel me and my level of tension and anxiety without the interference of a saddle. He also draws a lot of his confidence from his handler, which made the transition from me being on the ground and supporting him to on his back where he can’t always see me directly. A direct connection to him changes this dramatically.

In short, a comfortable horse is a happy horse.

Pony photo dump! Nothing special just a happy herd!

Bright blankets for hunting season on the farm 🥰

It might not seem like much but the little bit of forward motion here is absolutely massive progress for this big Derp! I’m so proud of him and how far he’s come in the last month.

This sweet goofball has passed 16.2hh! Measured him because he’s suddenly butt high, I’m sure his withers will follow soon.

Tilly’s first ride in her new home went perfectly!

06/15/2022

A few videos from my session with Derp today. Third time line driving this year, he’s picked it up so fast! I may have gotten on him a few times last year as a 2 year old but not wanting to push too fast with a young one I didn’t do much more than that which means basically starting over this year. The first time we did any line driving this year, even with appropriate warm ups with ropes around his bum he took off bucking and couldn’t keep up with the ropes chasing him! When he calmed down he went around nicely, second time there was some bucking but no taking off. Then, today, this was our start! Nice and calm and quiet.

This was such a cool experience!
