Hi- I'm Sherlock. An unhandled wild lil colt. Follow along to watch me grow and learn life!

Come with on Sherlock's 3rd ride... we started in the pen then I decided to take him in the front yard to see what he'd do. I let him pick where he wanted to go, he did try to go back to the gate a few times but then gave up and took me all around the front yard and obstacles, down the driveway, thru the mud, and even down the road a bit!

Sherlock first steps with a rider. (Only going to say this once, he's 3, and some sitting/a few steps will not wreck his body. Not going to argue with anyone, thank you)
Is it perfect? No
Is he nervous? Some parts yeah
Did we end with a very positive "ride"? Yep
The past few weeks I've been sitting on him from the feeder and just spending time sitting there and being above him. Pretty cool when you can just grab them from the feeder, no lunging, just hop on and see what happens.
Everyone always asks if I train horses for the public, and this is why I can't... because I will never be fast at it and give people the results they want in a time frame. And they'd laugh at me for calling this a ride, when we barely took any steps.

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 Got a quick ride in before the heat. Enjoy this throwback pic from last year, he looks so little!

Sherlock was so excited to go through the obstacle course! (Exhibit A) He couldn't wait to taste test my new found torture devices (Exhibit B-E )

If anyone needs help with spring projects, I can gladly send over Sherlock! He's an A+ helper, supervisor, and taste tester.

Eating lunch and watching a friend..
Spent a few minutes on some yummy green grass!!
We don't have many deer around our farm but we do have one that likes to have her fawns in our grove and then hang out until fall. Sherlock saw her once and then was more concerned about filling his belly 🤣

Sherlock wants to share a little secret we've been keeping 😉🤫
We recently put up an indoor arena at home! It still needs finishing touches, but it was great to use a little bit today and be out of the brutal SD wind!

Sherlock got his very first piece of custom tack, do you think he looks handsome?
Hopefully, eventually, I'd like to be able to trail ride him in a sidepull halter!

We got to go sledding again this morning 🥳 his second time pulling the sled, and first time in the wide open spaces.
It'll all be melted by tomorrow, but yesterday we got the perfect snow for sledding. Sherlock really seems to like this, he seems pretty content pulling me.
I'm sure it looks rather boring, but I think there's a wide variety of skills needed to do this safely!
All the dogs tagged along, and you can see just how unphased he is by all of them running around! I couldn't get the dogs to ride in the sled, but they were so cute I had to include a pic of them.

Sherlock got the sunset (ponied) ride tonight
It's pretty magical watching the sky go from the first pic to the last.. everything around us was purple and orange, tried to video but phones never do justice to what it actually looks like.
So if you think South Dakota is just "flat and boring" sure, maybe, but I wouldn't trade it for being able to watch this every night 😍
