Just me and a flaming hot Cheeto! Lol!
Cheeto the yearling colt is a wild one. He refuses to except our company with ease, even during feeding time. After being here almost a full month and ponied only once in his first wk of being here. Unfortunately I just haven't had the time to keep up with him.
So today was the day to throw my handy dandy one swing low Houlihan and snagged him right away. Cheeto is a very sensitive colt that likes to strike and kick when put under pressure. Very flighty and spazzy. My goal wasn't necessarily to touch him today, but to get him used to being handled without fource in hopes to build his trust willingly. To teach him when pressure is applied when pulling on him, that pressure will release. To also teach him to walk to the thing that scares him to build his confidence. I was that thing. So every step he took away from me, I would let him, but then once he came to a stop I would slowly pull him back to me one step at a time.
I had done only that maneuver for his first lesson, he is not mentally stable to handle too much at once. This colt has a double swirl on the top of his forehead. He is destined to be challenging and I except that. At the end of our session he reached out and touched my hand on his own. I have to let him think it's his idea in order for him to feel more trusting and brave. Lol! I felt the need to use reverse psychology on him and it worked.
Good job Cheeto Puff!
Sometimes goofing off is needed! Great Job Kenzie! 😃

Meet Cheeto! This lil yearling just arrived fresh out of the pasture. Now it's time to get tamed & halter broke. Sorry Cheeto your wild days are over. 🥰
UPDATE! KENZIE had such a great transformation in her 3 months of training here at Twisted T Corral LLC , that the owners had decided to keeper! Wow! What a great compliment! 🎉 No one ever wants to sell their dream horse, so keep in mind that maybe they just need to be invested in and get them some correct handling and training to bring that dream horse around. Thank you for your loyalty! We appreciate you.
Meet Kenzie;
Kenzie is a beautiful black 2009 grade breeding stock paint mare that stands around 15.1 hands tall.
This mare has been there done that. She had spent her younger years as a playday/show horse, shown in all around by a young novice rider. That rider also carried a flag on Kenzie for grand entries. Kenzie would be a great step up horse for a teenager and loves ranch work & riding. She loves tracking cattle, pasture roping & dragging just about anything & can cover long distance without tiring down, with her amazing extended trot. Kenzie neck reins, picks up both leads & has a nice stop and also can ride bridleless. She also does great on trail rides & loves to play in the water. Kenzie's not the hokey pokey type of horse. She is a forward moving type that is all work and likes a job. She knows leg cues and can be fancy if need to be.
Kenzie would make some nice mule babies or even draft cross with her color and confirmation. Her sire was a black & white paint, she is western pleasure and cowhorse bred.
Located in Halfway Mo. Owner is interested in trading for a more laid back more whoa than go type of horse.
Kay had a great lesson. She had the habit of looking down at her horse when riding the pattern which caused them to come off the path. It was an easy fix and she done it well.
Good job Kay and Kit-Cat!
UPDATE! The owners loved her transformation from her 3 months of training and had decided to keep Kenzie! What a great compliment.
Have you guys met Kenzie? I am sure most of you have seen her other videos and pictures. But I can't help but make more & probably won't be the last, bc she is such a cool horse and absolutely beautiful! Kenzie will seriously do whatever you tell her to do & is the favorite horse to ride around here by everyone.
Due to Kenzie being so athletic she unfortunately moves to fast for her owner for what her owner would like to compete in. With that being said Kenzie is looking for her a new home. Kenzie loves ranch work, ranch riding and can cover some ground. She is focused and all business when you put her to work, but also loves love and butt scratches. Kenzie also has fun competing in the saddle club fun show events. She still needs some training on the poles but she is very willing to learn. And will continue to learn as long as she is here.
Kenzie has an appointment to get her teeth done on November 25th, and a vet appointment will be scheduled soon for a soundness check.
Kenzie is a registered 2009 APHA black mare. But do to the previous owner scamming the current owner out of her registration by taking advantage of them not being educated in the horse industry and not handing them over when asked recently by 3 individuals, myself included. APHA will be called to help with this case. So stay tune for updates and be patient with me with her sell until we figure this all out. I can't stand a lier nor a crook!
Our APHA stallion that stands here at Twisted T Corral LLC! Man he is so handsome!
This trainer Kenzie is what I believe is a 14 yr old mare has come a long way. She had set for 3 years or better. Then came to me to get rode and finally tuned. She was definitely set in her ways. She still needs some work in some places and that comes in time and practice, but I am super proud of how far she has come so far. Great job Kenzie! 👏
Velvet accomplished a goal today! For the first time, Velvet walked onto the bridge and walked all the way down the bridge without falling or jumping off the sides!
Good job Velvet! I am so proud of you!
Mesa working two at time this morning!
This two year old filly graduated to the big arena today on a windy day at that. She did so good.
Great job Doc C2!
