My spoiled rotten horse (Nasdaq) faking colic. Although she has done the "poor pitiful horse has a belly ache" act several times, she still managed to worry me a bit.
Nasdaq horse comes into the house and tries to drink Gatorade only to discover that she can't get the lid off because she doesn't have thumbs. Ha ha ha.
Day three training my horse Nasdaq to saddle. Used a western saddle this time, and hung a big tarp on the horn to thoroughly sack her out. She doesn't shy easily!
First day training my horse Nasdaq to saddle. DO NOT try to start a "wild" horse this way, Nasdaq has been handled almost daily since six months of age!
Comical! Once again, my nosy horse (Nasdaq) invites herself into the house. She's grown alot & almost couldn't fit her butt down the hallway. It's about time to start her under saddle. She needs a job to keep her out of trouble.
Me and my horse Shorty, getting back into shape; training for endurance. It was raining and muddy for much of the ride, quite enjoyable compared to the dry dusty heat we usually have.
Fourth ride for these colts. Five year old "Shoshone" (red roan, draft mix) and two year old "Painted Wolf" (tri-color American Paint Horse) Went well as expected, and was NOT a bronc ride.
Fifth ride for these colts. "Shoshone" (red roan, draft mix) rode nicely and behaved like a dream. "Painted Wolf" (tri-color Paint Horse) rode like a stubborn jackass, so stubborn that I would have prefered to ride a mule.
Me riding Peppy. Trying to ride while in an aircast hurt like hell so it was a short ride. Peppy thought it was a boring ride, she kept yawning - it was funny.
I got a mental block while jumping Shorty. I screwed up so many times it's unbelievable! I've jumped that jump countless times on other horses without a problem.
Slideshow of Nasdaq growing from six months old, into a two year old. She was a funny looking baby, but she turned out beautiful. It's time to start her under saddle!
