Here’s our update on Mellow!
WARNING: This is a longer video, but Mellow is still learning to lead and go through gates on the halter. As you can see, it’s a process of pressure and release, so that she is making up her mind to move and respond instead of me forcing her or scaring her into it.
It’s weaning day for this beautiful blue-eyed filly!! She nor her momma will be very excited about it, I’m sure. But we are excited as it’s her next step in growing up!
She’s learning some simple but super important groundwork!
This gorgeous filly is accepting the halter!!
This beautiful filly will be up for sale once she is weaned in a month and a half!! She will be registered with AQHA!
Dually’s first day of driving today!!
(For those of you who are wondering about Raema, she’s getting a few days off since she’s been doing so well and working hard!)
Also, I need to work on some sort of sound/video system! If any of you have some inexpensive suggestions, I’d love to hear! All I have been using is my phone and often the birds are louder than I am and in order to view the whole round pen, I have to put it back a ways!
This video is a “bit” shorter 😂
This is a bit of a long video, but it gives you an idea of what this two-year old fella is like! This is Dually’s third saddling!
This girl is QUICK with her rollbacks and is also picking up the correct leads coming out of them! She’s also doing amazing transitioning from the walk to the lope. Our next job is transferring and applying this quickness and skill to our riding work! It’s a process and she is doing so well at it!
Raema (RAY-ma) is getting better at separating her front end from her hind end! We were working on cross-overs with her front feet and she is getting quicker with it!
It’s a beautiful morning! The horses were full of energy on this crisp spring morning! They were ready to get back to the barn for their hay!
Here is a longer video of Raema is saddle where you can see more of where she is at in her training!
Here is Raema under saddle! She sure is a smooth ride and confident with a rider on her back. I love how she just picks up that lope!
