We've had a pretty successful last couple of weeks! Kenny got his first ride, Squirt is laying down like a pro and did very well on his first ride, Albert is also really making progress on the ground. Max is a welcome back gal from last year, she showed up a little amped, but she got a reality check and is showing she remembers her training well from last year! And Riot gets to be out working cows and going on casual rides!
This is Squirt
We've been off to a great start so far this training season. We've got Snickers, Albert, Doc, Fin, Riot and, getting two tomorrow!
Snickers has proven to be extremely independent and if she's not being a pill during warm up, warming her up gets her hot 🤣 she has beautiful moves though!
Albert is extremely gentle, but has definitely found his energy now that he's put on a little weight. He's extremely smart, very friendly, not spooked by much of anything. Dakota Showdown is in for a treat with this guy.
Doc is a BA dude. He's got a real nice handle on him, comes off like he'd like to dump ya, but he's been the best ride yet.
Fin is a complete powerhouse. We've had to do some changes with saddle fit, but now that we've got it down, hold on to your hats boys and girls. He's been learning how to ride out alone because Tim learned that he's buddy sour - whether he's known a horse for a minute, a day, or a lifetime he wasn't a fan of getting ridden away from. He's doing very well in his progress!
Riot.....well.....he's not what you'd think judging by that name! Guns, dogs, kids, horses, cats, fireworks, new riders, new experiences, you name it, this horse couldn't give two sh*ts less 🤣 he's always a fun one to have (returning friend from last year). His mama plans to do mounted shooting with him and he, of course, is posing zero concerns there!
We wish all you mamas out there a Happy Mother's Day!
Miss Sunny is finding her wheels! She sure is a spunky little filly!
And today is Ellie's birthday too!
