And that’s a wrap! Ripper will be headed to his new home soon! Huge thank you to everyone that has reached out and shown interest in this boy, I’m so glad that others can see just how special he is! Couldn’t have asked for a better turnout and I am just so so proud of how Ripper performed.

I can’t wait to see where else life takes this one of a kind horse!

Bath #1 for show week 🥳

24/08/2023

Making the most out of our quickly ending time together 🥹 not gonna lie I’m going to miss his calm and go with the flow temperament. Such an easy boy to get along with, I can’t wait to see how he thrives in his forever home!

21/08/2023

How it started vs. how it’s going.
So glad I got to have such a solid role model for these baby girls even if it was a short period of time. We’re going to miss Ripper in our girly gang!

Sidepassing some poles going left and right with no issues 🤩

19/08/2023

Does Ripper let strangers come up and pet him loose in the field? The answer is yes and he’ll slowly sidle over to you to get the good belly scratches 😉
He’s such a sweet love bug 🥰

12/08/2023

Sharing is caring, if this doesn’t show what a sweet soul Ripper has I don’t know what will. 🤩 He’s always down to share with the babies or even the miniature ponies. Very low man on the totem pole in the herd but at the same time doesn’t let much push him around. Overall just a sweet, non-confrontational, loving guy 🤷🏼‍♀️ what more could you want!

26/07/2023

100 day transformation!

22/07/2023

Rips ponied out on his first trail ride 🤩 he did amazing. Had to push through branches that crossed the path as well as ferns that brushed his belly. All with the saddle on as well! He saddled up this morning tied in the aisle-way before doing any work and he was perfect. Besides my lil mare feeling spicy it was an amazing group ride!

22/07/2023

Today was full of fine tuning our forehand turns, haunch turns, and side passing both ways. As well as trotting in hand and backing. All with the saddle on! He’s getting used to moving under saddle and the different feelings that come with wearing one. I was able to just toss it on and cinch it up no issue. After some body work we moved onto some tarp and rope work, he did so good! A bit jumpy to start off whenever the tarp moved and at times he felt he couldn’t get away from it but he quickly realized that when he stops moving the tarp stops.
We ended the session by me putting some of my own weight in the stirrups on both sides and then I threw a weighted pair of pants over his back to carry around. I feel like he’s getting a good head start on saddle breaking 🤩

Ripper will be available at the end of competition Sep 1-3 during the auction! Don’t miss out on this guy!

10/07/2023

💎What an absolute gem of a soul💎

Ripper and I got to go to a trail course yesterday and by the end of the 2 hour session he had done every single obstacle! He tries so hard for his handler and is so willing to please!
Water boxes, tarps, ditches, noodles at every point of his body, balloons, tire platforms, pinwheels, big ball, and a tunnel. You name it he did it! All while donkeys were talking and emus were running around. Not to mention loading into the trailing and hauling out for the first time ever! Loaded right in both times, tied up, and divider closed. Didn’t even blink an eye at it I was very impressed!

⭐️Ripper WILL be available at auction after the competition September 1-3⭐️

Ripper got a nice whitening bath today! x2 because he was that dirty 😅 his mane glitters when it’s clean 🤩🤩
Plus some bonus pictures of him living his pasture life with his babies and some play time! We work on the basics often and any day I don’t work him I make sure to go out and give him lots of scratches so he doesn’t get the idea that I only catch him to work 🥳
Hard to believe he’s only 2! He’s growing so fast and very butt high at the moment. I need to get a stick out to measure him but my guess is he’s 15-15.1 at the withers so far. Once he catches up with his rear my guess is he’ll be an easy 15.2 or more!

19/06/2023

Photo dump from this whole weekend of work! I worked him Friday through Sunday consistently, I had a little bit of fight by Sunday for catching in the field but nothing to bad.
🌟hoses off / bathes consistently
🌟Went on a few walks to explore the space
🌟did showmanship work (backing, walk/trot in hand, haunch turn, forehand turn (both ways), standing square, stop)
🌟a lot of round pen work, flag work, body work, tarps, spray bottles, tying in different places
🌟did some basic saddle work (on, off, on again, cinched, uncinched)
🌟picked up all four feet willingly! (I’ve been taking it slow, he’s been a tougher one than usual with his feet)

Overall I’m pretty happy with how Ripper is turning out 🤩
Such a handsome, happy, growing, and healthy boy!

09/06/2023

Went on a nice chill walk after work and we:

🌟Played in the creek (funny video of that in the comments)
🌟Got a lil muddy
🌟Had dogs running through the bushes and popping out behind or beside him, no problem
🌟Stood tied at a trailer for a bit while it got cleaned out
🌟Then loaded into the trailer with a ramp three times in a row. First time he walked right in, second time it took a little longer, but third time he walked right in again!
🌟Got to go out and play with his big gelding friend Atlas. They spent time grooming each other as well as running and bucking together!
🌟First time trying out no halter in the pasture, he’s pretty easy to catch so figured it was time!

02/06/2023

Ponied for the first time!
He’s had an aversion to people riding horses but I figured it was time for some ponying to get over that! I used my old lady to help him figure it all out and by the end he was up by my leg and even trotting!
He stood tied while I was warming up my mare and really just took it all in stride once I started leading him around. No pulling back or freaking out, he gives to pressure so nicely and really would do anything for some good scratches 🥹🌟🤩

29/05/2023

Not a care in the world with the first time being cinched up in any way!

29/05/2023

What a fantastic morning session 🤩

🌟 went and caught him with little to no issue, had to run in a few circles before walking up to me
🌟 stood tied for a bit while I did morning chores
🌟 lunged in the round pen walk, trot, and canter both ways
🌟tossed a western saddle pad on for the first time! Worked on throwing it on and off both sides, letting it fall off, and walking in circles both ways with it on
🌟 first time with a western saddle! Flapped the stirrups on both sides, circled both ways, on and off both sides, and played with cinch
🌟 threw the surcingle on and cinched that right up! I expected maybe a little bucking but he sent off into a trot with no problem
🌟 strung up the long lines and worked on turning pressures, stopping pressure, backing, as well trotting in circles. No issue with the lines touching his legs or any of the pressure on his halter!

Such a strong minded gentleman and so willing to please! 🤩

24/05/2023

I let my two mustang fillies out into my pasture with Ripper hoping they’d all get along. At first they iced him out since they are already two peas in a pod, but eventually they slowly started letting him in on all the fun they have. I caught him and Jolene sleeping together one morning and this morning I caught them all playing together like the babies they are!
There is still a little territorial jealousy when I’m in the pasture because they all want my attention 🤦🏼‍♀️🤪 Regardless Ripper will still come up to me to get caught and go work!

20/05/2023

This guy impresses me with every moment we spend together. So willing to learn new things and one of the most chill personalities I’ve gotten to work with. (I work with mostly mares so maybe that’s the reason?) 🤪

On day 34 we:
🌟had our second bath ever! Absolute angel once he gets used to the hose 🦄
🌟put on a fly mask! Thankfully Ripper is not shy around his ears so the biggest obstacle was just getting used to the Velcro sound.
🌟got turned out in a pasture for the first time ever!!! We just walked the fence checked it all out, found out what electric fence was (and then never touched it again 🙈) then it was time for some freedom!
🌟met my two mustang babies through the fence and that’s the corner he stayed at for most of the day
🌟spent ALL night out in the pasture and he walked right up in the morning!

Videos in the comments! 🤩

18/05/2023

Ripper got to get out and run with a friend tonight 🤩 it was so great to actually see him move for once!

12/05/2023

First ever bath!! This boy just loves anything to do with pampering! Acted like he’s been bathed his whole life. Finally got to clean up his muddy poo ball legs. Next will be a bath with a whitening shampoo! He stays surprisingly clean for how white he is.

11/05/2023

Took a short grazing walk yesterday after work 😌

08/05/2023

Loose in the arena, walking over bridges, standing tied in the aisleway, and a nakey boy in the stall oh my!

Such a sweet soul and a joy to work with everyday! I could spend 5 minutes at a time or several hours and he always picks up where we left off!

02/05/2023

First time with the bridge obstacle and first time getting in a trailer 😮 just spur of the moment decisions to even attempt them! He never ceases to surprise me. 🤩

Went and did some more lunging work in the outdoor and finally something clicked and we were able to do some real circles! 🎉🎉

Then ended the evening with some grazing 😍

02/05/2023

Really really wanted that grass!

Such a good boy! Can’t say it enough, Ripper has the calmest sweetest soul. He’s a gem 💎 🤩 Don’t miss out on this guy available during the auction September 3rd!

Sidepassing some poles going left and right with no issues 🤩

Nothing fazes this boy! I love his “ok, what’s next?” attitude 🤩

First ever full saddling! Couldn’t have gone any better in my eyes 🤩 so happy with what we have accomplished together as a team! No bucks just a small hunch up as we started moving. Whoever gets to actually get this boy started when he’s old enough is going to be so lucky!

Not a care in the world with the first time being cinched up in any way!

Ripper got to get out and run with a friend tonight 🤩 it was so great to actually see him move for once!

Really really wanted that grass!

Ripper has finally started to eat his alfalfa pellet and grain mash! It was hard to get him to show any interest whatsoever, at this point he mostly just licks at it BUT! Progress is progress.

He was so good for washing his tail 🥹 I also introduced the spray bottle! He’s a boy who loves to be pampered!

Just several nice and chill sessions today, no drag line anymore either! 🤩

Itchy boy ✨

So proud that we were able to get over that little hump of “don’t touch me” to just breaking down that wall and accepting brushing and touching on both sides to the hips! Love how calm his demeanor is 🥹

We went from “don’t you dare touch me” to “hey actually I’m very itchy and that feels good” in the span of 30 minutes this evening.

He says “I’ll eat out of your lap, just don’t touch me.”

Home and inside without any issues!
