Having some young prospects is pretty exciting this year. Both did well under halter with one being a WC and RWC as a yearling. She won't go under saddle until late spring but the coming 3 yr old is already being ridden outside and in the woods and will go under "training" in January. I want my horses BROKE first... so if they don't make the best of a show horse they are trail ready and anyone can ride them. I see too many that are "barn broke" and are not easily handled and I want mine to be truly ground broke and then naturally taught to flex, stand still and be ridden without stress.
I love horses. They are smarter than we give credit for and they are VERY trainable if you approach them the right way. I will try to post photos of the mess once we start and get the posts in the ground... and pray for us. This is a VERY big project for a husband and wife team!
Here is Amy on Cruz for his FIRST RIDE! He has done VERY WELL and then below that is his last "at halter" show in October... very proud of him and of Amy for braving to get on his back as the first to sit on him....
