I've Always Been Able to Say...

...that I've never met a horse I didn't like...

Until the other day.

B is B and G is G

Brown is bad and green is good.

Sometimes It's Good, Sometimes It's Not So Good

Today was not so good...

Incentive

Compa has never been out in the open. He went from being stalled at the breeders, to being purchased and placed in a stall at the vet's where he was gelded, to a stall at my farm, where he was slowly integrated into my herd and finally turned out in my pasture 24/7.  So he's always been confined in some sort of enclosure. Yesterday changed all that.

Compa's Stifles

The vet came out yesterday. A decision was made...

Introduction to the Bosal

Two rides in the round pen and I want out of there. I think Compa does, too. Today was ride number three, so to prepare for the great outdoors, I put Compa in the bosal.

Starting Colts - What That Means...

Compa's first ride was everything I thought it would be. He was calm, accepting and curious about what I wanted. He was dependable and quiet, which kept me safe.
