I also have the most adorable, loveable cat named Thunder. I call him a mini Maine Coon. He is the light of my life when things go wrong. He will always listen to me and try to comfort and cheer me up. He does a pretty good job of it, too.Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.comBlogger1522125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-76050834153042149352024-03-14T17:43:00.000-07:002024-03-14T17:43:35.613-07:00Project Ground Driving<p>Project Ground Driving</p><p>As many of you know, I planned to teach Trifecta to ground drive. He is the first horse that I have started that I used ground driving as a training tool. I always thought it was a good idea, but Cruiser was confused by it, Mingo didn't need it because it was all so simple with him and I skipped it with Cole because he was older and I just wanted to get to the riding.</p><p>I have a lot of time with Trifecta while I wait for him to grow up, and I needed something to keep both of us entertained.</p><p>Ground driving is a good way to teach young horses to understand reins before actually riding them.</p><p>To start, I wanted Trifecta to understand the word "walk." We practiced it on a lounge line with clicker training to help him understand when he got it right. </p><p>I planned to use a surcingle as he hasn't had a saddle on him, yet. That is when I realized another benefit--he is getting used to having a girth without worrying about the weight of the saddle at the same time. In the beginning, he was very fussy about it when I put it on him. Now, he stands quietly for it.</p><p>I had my practice sessions with Dante to get used to handling the reins. The trickiest part is to remember to loosen the outside rein when you ask him to turn with the inside rein. My arms had to learn to work independently.</p><p>I am starting with ground driving in just a halter, so there was nothing for him to get used to there.</p><p>Everything I read about teaching a horse to ground drive suggested doing it in a round pen. That is a great idea, but in the winter, the outdoor round pen is no fun place for a human on foot. I would be starting in the indoor arena.</p><p>When I felt we were ready, I had Ellen assist us by leading him. That helped him get used to the bare basics of starting, stopping and turning. I did use clicking, but I was the one clicking and giving him the treats.</p><p>We had several very short sessions, and he was doing well. The next time, I had Ellen unhook him and just walk with us. That is when things started going downhill. I don't know if it was because he knew the very basics and lost interest in the whole thing or if I was doing something wrong, but he started to obsess on Ellen. He wanted to bite the lead rope if she had him hooked--and bite her if she didn't. He could turn away from her, but if I asked him to turn towards her, he would take that as an invitation to play with her. If she walked ahead of him so he could follow her, he just stopped listening altogether. If she walked away to leave us to work it out on our own, he seemed to forget everything and just concentrate on either visiting her or the horses in the stalls along the walls of the arena. We had several frustrating training sessions like this, and I started to get discouraged.</p><p>Then Ellen had a revelation--she had to vacate the premises--completely. That is what we ended up doing when I was struggling to teach him to lounge. He just couldn't pay any attention to me if there were people around--particularly his favorite people--Ellen and Kevin.</p><p>The day she left us alone, we had some struggles, but once he understood that I could steer him away from the horses he wanted to visit, he started paying attention to me. We practiced straight lines, turning each way and halting. I used clicker to reinforce everything, but once he started to be consistent, I faded most of it off unless he did something outstanding. It is way to inconvenient to click all the time when ground driving.</p><p>Towards the end of the session, Ellen had to come through the arena and was afraid to even look at us in fear of distracting Trifecta. By that time, he was getting so consistent that I told her to look and see how well we were doing. She was as happy as I was!</p><p>The next few sessions we did, she stayed and watched us. Trifecta is no longer obsessed with her. We still had trouble with the other horses and going past the exit that leads into the barn, and there were times when Ellen stepped in to give me a hand. We would work about 10 minutes a couple times a week when it was quiet at the barn.</p><p>And then the magic happened. This last session was just amazing. Everything just fell in place. He wasn't perfect, but he was leaps and bounds better than he was in the previous session. I found us going around and around the arena along the wall, turning both directions, switching directions--going past the problem spots and walking in a very steady, forward manner. He kept turning his ears back to listen to me as I told him over and over how good he was. It was just so lovely.</p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-6788404620295743002024-02-22T14:43:00.000-08:002024-02-22T14:43:17.904-08:00Ground Driving Snafu<p>Ground Driving Snafu</p><p>Ellen and I had our plan to introduce Trifecta to ground driving with the help of clicker training. My first step was to teach Trifecta to stand still so I could attach the lines. He didn't like standing still, but with a couple of sessions of clicker training, he learned it well. His cue to stand still is me rubbing his neck. That way, even if I don't click him, he enjoys the cue.</p><p>My next step was to teach him to move forward from the word "walk." We did that on the lounge line. When I used to use a whip for lounging, I just moved the whip. We gave up the whip by this time, so I had been just waving the line. Now, I only wanted to just use the word.</p><p>In the beginning, I would say the word and nothing would happen so I waved the line. When he moved, I clicked him. There has to be space between the 2 cues, and the one he knows has to be the second cue. After he was getting this pretty good, I tried the word only. He just stood there, thinking. I tried a few times before he actually moved off at a walk. Of course he got clicked for that. We practiced it a lot more. As we were doing it, I had him walk more and more steps before he got the click. Soon, he was incredibly consistent. Since then, we have worked on walk, whoa, walk, whoa, walk--then click--only with the words. He is still not that great with his trot transitions, but I think he might just be a little lazy...</p><p>Anyway, back to our first day of ground driving. We started out just introducing him to the reins. I previously spent time getting him used to the lounge line touching his sides, so this wasn't too tough for him. I ran the reins through the rings of the surcingle--that went well, too. He stood like a champ.</p><p>The next step was for Ellen just to lead him, so he could get used to me walking behind him. That sounds easy, but that is where we hit our snafu. All he wanted to do was play with Ellen. He tried to bite her, bite the lead rope, bite the long reins, dance around and bite at her again. It was constant, too. Those are all the things he was doing for me that was driving me crazy--before we started clicker training. With clicker,\ those behaviors diminished precipitously. </p><p>We found a big hole in his training. He had learned only to listen to me. Ooops...</p><p>We called it quits for the ground driving lesson.</p><p>The next day, Ellen planned to teach him to lead. He started out simply horrible! He was just as bad as the day before, but he added in prancing, dancing and threw in a temper tantrum with a small rear. Poor Ellen. These are not things she is used to. She later confessed that she wanted to quit, but forced herself to keep going.</p><p>With clicker training, we are waiting for the right behavior--and when it happens, we click and treat so the horse knows he did the right thing. Ellen struggled with Tri for what seemed an eternity, but was probably about 5 minutes--and then the miracle happened. He walked a few good steps. She clicked him--and he got a surprised look on his face. It was as if to say, "You can play that fun game, too?" After that, he continued to improve very quickly and soon he was walking beside her like a gentleman.</p><p>We practiced this lesson a few more days before we attempted ground driving again. She cut back on the clicks, started chaining the ones that she was doing with other behaviors and clicking him when he was very excellent. Now, we start most of our lessons, regardless of what we are doing, with a few minutes of Ellen leading him around.</p><p>The last thing I need is for my horse to only listen to me. Soon, Shari and Kevin will be doing the same thing with him. Leading like a gentleman should apply to whoever happens to be leading him.</p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-77792352813399212642024-02-20T12:42:00.000-08:002024-02-20T12:42:45.654-08:00Update on Trifecta<p>Update on Trifecta</p><p>Blogging has been tough. Life has gotten very difficult, and my concentration levels have decreased. If you may recall, my dog, Maggie, passed away in November. At the time, my cat, Thunder, was doing pretty good. He has never been a good eater, but he was eating more than ever for a while there--then he stopped. I took him to the vet, and he has stage 4 kidney failure. This was quite a surprise, since his blood work from late August showed healthy kidneys. He was bad enough that the vet said euthanasia was justified--though not necessary at that point. </p><p>I decided to take a try at treating him to give him a chance. I have had experience with this with my Siamese Cat, Indi. Thunder was still engaged with the world--I thought he needed a chance. Neither the vet nor I were very optimistic, but with a lot of care and the help of modern medicine, he pulled through. It's been about 5 weeks, now, which is 3 weeks longer than I expected. His kidney numbers have actually improved, but other numbers aren't so great. His appetite is off and on, and that is the hardest part for me. I don't mind giving him the fluids and medications to help him out, but it is all for naught if he keeps losing weight.</p><p>He is 17 years old, so I am realistic about this--but that makes my emotions that much worse.</p><p>There have been a few other really big, awful things going on that I prefer not to go into here--but they are also weighing me down.</p><p>It has been quite a roller coaster ride for me, emotionally, and the consequences are an inability to write and keep everybody up on Trifecta. There has been a lot to write about, but I have missed it.</p><p>Here is an update.</p><p>Clicker training continues to go well. All those things that he did that drove me crazy have nearly disappeared--and in a very short time, too. He's barely biting at me, the lead rope and the lounge line. When I lounge him, he hasn't been having his "temper tantrums" which included bolting, bucking and rearing. He seldom tries to visit the horses in the stalls on the perimeter of the arena. I can get him to go past Ellen and Kevin without him stopping to visit them--everything is just so much better!</p><p>We have started the introduction to ground driving. He is beginning to understand it. We only do it for 5-10 minutes at a time--just for something to do to entertain him. Some days are better than others due to his short attention span. After all, he still has the brain of a 2-year-old.</p><p>We turn him out to play when the weather permits, but here in northeast Ohio in February, the weather can be a problem. I can't wait for spring!</p><p>He still seems to be growing. Lately, he started shedding. I have been wondering if he will be the light colored chestnut I bought or the darker one he became with his winter coat. I like both colors, so it doesn't matter to me other than to quench curiosity.</p><p>I really need to measure him. I have a feeling he has reached 14.1 hands, and he is getting broader and more Morgan-like every day. In fact, he is turning out to be quite the pretty horse.</p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-80292178457545612792024-02-01T13:27:00.000-08:002024-02-01T13:27:17.672-08:00My Little Baby<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Q8bedAjnneV5G47m3uq2EUhi-MjoXrmfdPhBrzsUvFqGk2VM4cAIdGQ8N1Oj_W7P6y1LK9ZxUsJDBP0UmlkYhM-IUYWkb94gO8JLvr2cwQx5NHQLrjaWvvbs-hx0whZ57nZvkMoznsQKCr_EqS3QwKC1z0tpkb0e9aP9EVHIFDigTQonniRjIOuxjg/s2532/image0.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2532" data-original-width="1170" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Q8bedAjnneV5G47m3uq2EUhi-MjoXrmfdPhBrzsUvFqGk2VM4cAIdGQ8N1Oj_W7P6y1LK9ZxUsJDBP0UmlkYhM-IUYWkb94gO8JLvr2cwQx5NHQLrjaWvvbs-hx0whZ57nZvkMoznsQKCr_EqS3QwKC1z0tpkb0e9aP9EVHIFDigTQonniRjIOuxjg/s320/image0.png" width="148" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-31351704822852409222024-01-18T15:43:00.000-08:002024-01-18T15:43:39.627-08:00A New Direction<p>A New Direction</p><p>I suppose a lot of people are wondering why they haven't read anything about me using clicker training with Trifecta. I just wasn't in any hurry about deciding if I was going to do it or not. He is such a nippy horse that we have avoided hand feeding him from the beginning. I didn't want to encourage more nippiness.</p><p>So, I decided to try training him the traditional way and using a lot of praise and pets. He really loves petting. It seemed to work for a while, but I wasn't very serious about training. Once the weather got colder and turnout became more of a challenge, I decided I should lounge him more often and for longer periods.</p><p>That is when he started driving me crazy. He is such a playful horse. He wanted to play with the lead rope, the lounge line and my jacket. It seemed nearly constant. He destroyed one lead rope and was doing his best to destroy his new one. He also couldn't focus. Our indoor arena is the kind that has stalls along the perimeter--a constant challenge. He wanted to visit every horse. We seemed unable to get anything accomplished. We would have a good day and the next would be difficult. Despite the cold, I would be dripping with sweat when we were done.</p><p>And I wasn't happy that it seemed like we were always struggling with each other. He wanted to do one thing, and I wanted to do another.</p><p>I decided that it was time to try clicker training with Trifecta.</p><p>We spent some time working on touching a target to teach him what clicker training was. The next thing I taught him was to turn his head away from me after the click. I didn't like him grabbing at my pockets, jacket or anything else to demand his treat. We taught that to Dante and Ranger in the early days. Dante will still do it sometimes. Ranger used to do it as a way to ask for a treat. Cole was always so polite about treats that I never bothered teaching it to him.</p><p>Trifecta learned it in one session. He would still attack my pockets, but since he didn't get a treat for that, that behavior is diminishing with every session.</p><p>The other day, I decided I would start his official training. My first command was to teach him to back up. I realized that I never taught Cole an official back up cue from the ground. It just never came up. Once again, Cole is such a polite horse that I never needed to do it. He does know how to do it from the saddle, of course.</p><p>I decided to start with Cole. It was a day off for him, so we were just going to do some tricks in the arena. I had been looking for a new trick to add to the mix. I don't know why I never thought of backing up.</p><p>I brought Cole into the arena and after he did his share of silly walk and bowing, I told him to stop bowing for just one moment to try something new. I gently pulled back on the halter and told him "back." He knows the verbal command from riding. He stepped back quite willingly. I clicked and treated. That was way too easy. After that one time, I merely needed to say the word, and he backed immediately. He is a genius. After about 5 times, I changed our routine. I asked him to back, followed by coming forward, parking out, standing while I stepped out in front of him--facing him and staying until I told him "come." That is when I would click and treat him. We just had one more action to our series of actions. Cole was great.</p><p>Then we did more silly walk, side pass, bow, silly walk...When it was time to finish our session, as usual, Cole resisted leaving the arena. He has so much fun, I think he could go all day.</p><p>I then went to get Trifecta. We started with lounging in our usual manner. He seemed very hyper and I thought if he moved around, he would settle down. The hyperness was reflected in his lounging performance. He was just awful. I then thought that I would just go straight to clicking him for good lounging. It took a bit, but he started to focus and walk around without grabbing at the lounge line, so I clicked him. He stopped, looked at me in disbelief as if to say, "I get a treat for that?" He sure did. We did both directions at a walk, and I gave him a lot of clicks. At first, it was only for a few steps, but we advanced to a full circle. </p><p>Then I thought I would try it at a trot. He went about a half lap, I clicked and he slammed on the brakes and did a happy hop as he spun to face me. He was so surprised and happy that he got a click for trotting quietly.</p><p>We did a few more times in each direction and then I decided to quit because someone wanted to bring out her very hyper 24-year-old Saddlebred. I thought I would give her space.</p><p>I took Tri in and brought Dante out to stretch him legs. I thought I would spend some time to see if I could teach him to back with just the word like Cole. He knows how to back from nose pressure and touching his chest. I asked him to back a few times with the halter, and he did it consistently. I would say the word first and then apply a little halter pressure. Doing them both at the same time is confusing for them. He was doing great, so I decided to try just the word. I said "back," and he lifted up his front leg and held it in the air. I waited for him to put it down, and tried again--getting the same thing. I just ignored him. Finally, he stepped back--about 3 inches. Then he took his other front foot and backed up 3 more inches. I tried a few times, but he insisted on doing the absolute minimum--unlike Cole who always tried harder--Dante tries to get away with less. I decided he wasn't enjoying the game, so we quit. I just took him for his walk about.</p><p>By now, the woman was done with her Saddlebred, so I decided to bring Trifecta back for his session in backing. The first couple attempts were pretty tough because all he wanted to do was pick at me. I just waited until I got the right response and then clicked him. After succeeding 5 times, I decided to wait and see if he would offer it to me. Instead, he continued to play with the rope and my jacket. Sigh...</p><p>I stepped away from him to get a break, and he immediately started circling me at a walk--he wanted to show me what he learned on his first session! I clicked him, and we practiced both directions a number of times. I added trotting, and he was awesome! I got him to trot several laps around before he was clicked. I was so thrilled.</p><p>It was time to end the session, and I told him what a wonderful horse he was and started to lead him to the exit. That is when I got the temper tantrum. He didn't want to leave. I didn't think that at first, but by the third unsuccessful attempt, I was convinced of it. He was just like Cole but far more rambunctious about it. Finally I did get him to leave and brought him back to his stall.</p><p>Later, when I thought about our second lounging session, I realized that I was doing it without a whip--and he didn't bite at the lead rope a single time! Not bad for the first day.</p><p>Day 2</p><p>I couldn't wait for Ellen to see my new horse. In the past, she was barely able to watch us, because when he saw her, he would try his best to get to her or swing around so he didn't have to pass the area where she was watching. This time, she was able to sit on the mounting block, and he never even thought of visiting her.</p><p>I didn't bring the whip. I asked him to walk short distances at first and increased them each time. I then did the same with trotting. I did have a little trouble when I then went to switch directions. I think he thought he would only get a treat for going the first direction. I did a lot more short distances the second direction so he could see he would get plenty of clicks. It worked.</p><p>Then we moved right on to the backing. Right away, he was backing to light pressure on the halter. Then it came time for him to try backing on his own so I really would know if he knew it. It took a bit. I had to have the utmost patience because it seemed like he wanted to try everything else, first. When he realized that he wouldn't get any treats for chewing on me, he tried to back up. I only wanted one step, but he gave me two. I clicked him and let him practice a number of times. Now that he knows it, we will go back to using a cue, and soon I will fade off the click and move on to something else.</p><p>I was very happy with the whole session, and I am glad to say that he wasa able to walk out of the arena like a gentleman.</p><p>I think that using clicker training with him is the right decision. I think that he is smart enough that the things we were doing bored him--and he was trying to turn them into a game. I was able to show him a different game that he likes much more.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-17708566796654666462023-12-21T17:02:00.000-08:002023-12-21T17:02:12.147-08:00Learning to Drive<p>Learning to Drive</p><p>I decided to teach Trifecta to ground drive. I could tell he really isn't into lounging. It doesn't take long for him to get bored and then he starts to get into trouble. He needs something else to learn. This way, he can learn all about reins before I ever get on him.</p><p>Years ago, when Mingo was recovering from one of his hoof operations during his never-ending hoof abscess, I decided to teach him to ground drive. I couldn't ride him, and he could only be walked. He was bored and needed something new to learn, too.</p><p>Since he already had been ridden for years, it didn't take long for him to learn, and we had fun. As soon as I could ride him, I hung up the reins and never thought of it again--until now.</p><p>Trifecta isn't quite ready, yet. I need him to be sharper with his go forward cue. I remember when I tried it with Cruiser when he was just 2, and that is where we failed. I gave up after only one attempt. </p><p>I was thinking about it, wishing I had a horse to practice on before I tried it with Trifecta--and then it dawned on me. I do! Dante was taught to drive before Ellen bought him! Not only that, but he has a quiet temperament, and I knew he would be patient with my fumbling around.</p><p>Ellen agreed with it. One day, after our ride, I got out my brand new driving reins. We left Dante's saddle on so we could run them through the stirrups. He stood quietly while I assorted myself. I ran the outside rein over his back and took the lounging position--that is what the book says to do when you first start a young horse. I had the inside rein going through the stirrup, but with Trifecta, I won't do that the first time. I will just hook it up like a lounge line direct to his head.</p><p>I asked Dante to walk, and he ignored me. Ellen came to the rescue and walked with him. I practiced "driving" but I know that Ellen was controlling everything. Dante will follow her anywhere. I told Ellen where I was going so Dante would go where I needed. We practiced stopping and going. I soon was in driving position, and we were walking all over the indoor arena--following Ellen, of course.</p><p>This worked really well because I got to practice my position, holding the reins and going in big circles both ways.</p><p>A few days later, we did it again. This time when I asked Dante to walk--he just stood there and waited for Ellen. Day 2 really was much like day 1, but Ellen didn't walk right next to Dante, so I was doing some of the controlling. We practiced stopping and going, and it went well. Finally, Ellen moved away from us and I was independently traveling across the indoor arena! I only went about a minute, and I said we should end on that good note.</p><p>Dante was just so patient. We are planning to do it more. The better I get before I tackle it with Trifecta, the more success I will have with him. Dante is such a treasure.</p><p>I thought of teaching Cole to ground drive for practice, but then I realized, he would probably just want to do tricks. I certainly don't need "silly walk," "show trot" and bowing.</p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-3343089361418933102023-12-21T16:40:00.000-08:002023-12-21T16:40:21.247-08:00My SisterMy Sister<div><br /></div><div>Years ago, I always drove Camaros. My third one was a 1981 maroon Z28. Shortly after I bought that car, my sister, Ellen, bought a Camaro. It was a little older--but it was maroon, too. There we were--both driving a maroon Camaro.<div><br /></div><div>A few years later, I bought a new car. It was a 1990 blue Camaro. It wasn't long after that that Ellen found her next car. It was also a blue Camaro. It was a little older, but it was blue, too. There we were--both driving blue Camaros.</div><div><br /></div><div>That went on for some years before Ellen got sensible and bought a car with front wheel drive. I continued driving my blue one until 2000 when I got a silver one. At least we were driving very different cars. I finally got smart and started driving front wheel drive cars, too. Driving rear wheeled sports cars in the snow is way too stressful at this age.</div><div><br /></div><div>My current car is a red Chevy Cruze. (It is no coincidence that I used to have a horse named Cruiser, and now I have a Cruze. I keep his old stall sign in the back seat.) Ellen just bought a red car.

My dog was sick and eventually passed away. It was a hard time, and I had no desire to write. Other things started happening, too. My energy level plummeted. I just lost my mojo.</p><p>That doesn't mean that I ignored the horses--I just didn't write about them. I am starting to get more serious about training, now. He is coming along with his lounging. I have been doing it for longer sessions. Before, I would maybe lounge him for 10-15 minutes, but recently I have more than doubled it. I do a lot of transitions, and he gets lots of pets when he does well. He just loves pets.</p><p>That is probably my biggest problem. When he sees someone, he wants to go visit them for pets. I have figured out that if I make him stand and ask the person to come and visit him, he doesn't try to visit them as much on his own. A lot of times, I will have him walk or trot just past the people, stop him and give him pets. That seems to be helping, too.</p><p>My next step is ground driving. I think that Trifecta likes variety, and that will give us something new to do. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR33c3o8Q2p5eClMLCm6OXcz47bXdb5b7PM8jW0kFfIqZu6116a6wE3mIKgV4h6y_LqQ2FHbrVWS7iHxc2DA7dCmoIDs6HjtMTnhmaLs5e_rE7LXcFh0ODqoYSsyhY-f1rV7ep_gxYXR_O9G6j3iP9tb5sG8-BorLRhlzhrZXfQCCebBKbkLbFuZUwiA/s1054/IMG_20231104_105431_3_kindlephoto-207532864.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1036" data-original-width="1054" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR33c3o8Q2p5eClMLCm6OXcz47bXdb5b7PM8jW0kFfIqZu6116a6wE3mIKgV4h6y_LqQ2FHbrVWS7iHxc2DA7dCmoIDs6HjtMTnhmaLs5e_rE7LXcFh0ODqoYSsyhY-f1rV7ep_gxYXR_O9G6j3iP9tb5sG8-BorLRhlzhrZXfQCCebBKbkLbFuZUwiA/s320/IMG_20231104_105431_3_kindlephoto-207532864.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>I never ground driven any of my young horses in the past. I did try it with Cruiser, and he was too puzzled by it. I gave up after one session. I always thought it made a lot of sense to teach a young horse to ground drive. When Mingo was laid up for a few months during his recovery from his hoof abscess operation, I decided to do it with him. Of course, he was pretty easy since I had already been riding him for years. I taught him so I could teach myself. Now, it is time for me to try out my now very rusty skills.</p><p>I have already got him a surcingle. The first time I put it on him, he was in his stall. I only partially buckled the 2 buckles since I couldn't see well. I walked away to let him just get used to it. When I came back, I found it one the ground. My clever little baby figured out how to unbuckle it. Since then, I have completely buckled it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaADVUyS8A4dx2aImyt6P0JAthnHcImj0yPFe9b0tZZDBP-NADg3ylbbAlh-hVxBQWdK3oQ5a1gXIX4KzPf8euw5ztMB1sz47kjno7Jgj2ZLamp5o7y6IfHz4vCY4Ztz3pFoZBj9cbgdhgtmPFzmbhoFD_zZ2_utmnwh4hom1upejkvyVfWj2HTbqoMA/s613/IMG_20231023_131626_1_kindlephoto-40480718.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="613" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaADVUyS8A4dx2aImyt6P0JAthnHcImj0yPFe9b0tZZDBP-NADg3ylbbAlh-hVxBQWdK3oQ5a1gXIX4KzPf8euw5ztMB1sz47kjno7Jgj2ZLamp5o7y6IfHz4vCY4Ztz3pFoZBj9cbgdhgtmPFzmbhoFD_zZ2_utmnwh4hom1upejkvyVfWj2HTbqoMA/s320/IMG_20231023_131626_1_kindlephoto-40480718.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>He is growing. I measured him a few weeks ago, and he is just over 14 hands. I wish I had known that our barn had a measuring stick when I got him so I could see how much he has grown since then. He has grown, but I'm not sure how much.</p><p>He is filling out and looking much more like a horse. I do have a weight tape, and it says that he has put on just over 100 pounds. The weight gain has been steady, and he hasn't plateaued. He has his full winter coat, and it is quite darker than his summer coat. No one thinks he is a dark palomino anymore.</p><p>And, he is really becoming beautiful. Of course, he will be following in some big footsteps. Cole is such an amazing horse. I was telling this to Ellen, and she reminded me--Cole was following some pretty big footsteps, too...</p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-39937567721804144832023-11-07T11:40:00.002-08:002023-11-07T11:40:06.119-08:00 Pictures of the Boys<p> Pictures of the Boys</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

He avoided it altogether. That wasn't a surprise, since he didn't know what I wanted him to do. I shortened the line so that I was only a few feet from him, and we tried it again. He tried to avoid the pole again and ended up banging his foot on it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The next time I circled him around, he stepped over the pole. I stopped him and gave him lots of pets and told him how good he was. We went back and did it a few more times until he seemed confident with it. It was time to add the trot. At first he avoided it, but finally he took a trot step over the pole. I stopped him to praise him, and he had a look on his face like he figured something out and he felt good about it. I thought I was imagining it, but then Ellen said she thought that was how he looked before I even mentioned it to her.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">He trotted over the pole a few more times, and then it was time to switch directions. Clockwise is typically harder for him. We practiced lounging in that direction for a few minutes and then we headed for the pole. Since he seemed to understand the concept, once I was able to properly line him up with the pole (not as easy as it sounds,) he trotted right over it. He got lots of praise and pets. He did it a few more times, and each time he got a little better--and then he tried a new technique--he jumped over it, cantered a stride and went back to the trot. Ellen and I laughed. I circled him back--and he cantered over it again. We took a little break, and I decided to try one more time--and he cantered again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I don't know if he just thought it was easier to canter--or if I have a horse with an aptitude for jumping. Each time, he did it with more confidence. It did seem like he enjoyed his little training session. We will do more of it in the future.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Day 2</div><p></p><p>It was time to try trotting over two poles. Ellen set them up for me. First, we reviewed walking over 2 poles--which he had done before on previous days. He did that well, even though I asked him in lounging position instead of leading position. My next request was to trot over the poles--and he hit both of them. I stopped him to let him think a little and then tried again. He was perfect! We made such a big deal about it with lots of praise and pets. After that, he trotted perfect each and every time. We continued to praise and pet him for it. He seemed cooperative and comfortable with the task, too.</p><p>I didn't want to overdo it with him, so we then moved into some regular lounging. At one point, he grabbed the line right by his mouth and didn't want to let it go. I made him keep trotting with it in his mouth. I think he was getting frustrated with it, and he gave it a big pull--and somehow he slipped and fell partially to the ground. He regained his balance and kept on going, unscathed.</p><p>You would think that he would have learned his lesson, but he continued to try and grab the line.</p><p>I decided it was time to try something new, so I asked him to canter--and he did! And he did it beautifully! I asked Ellen and Kevin if they were training him when I wasn't around, since this was the first and then the second time I ever tried. We laughed about it, but truthfully, I asked him to canter because it just seemed like he wanted to do it. Sometimes that is just the way things go. Needless to say, I was so happy with his response. When I first tried cantering Cole on a lounge line, he turned into a bucking, bolting maniac. Sometimes, he still does. Cole has never been a very consistent lounger. I am better off just riding him for exercise.</p><p>I think Trifecta has reached the point where he lounges better than Starry, Dante and Cole. That is just with short lessons a few days a week. He seems to enjoy learning which is a good thing to have in a horse.</p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-1796270748385385542023-09-28T14:29:00.001-07:002023-09-28T14:29:36.993-07:00Update on Trifecta<p>Update on Trifecta</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDf3XGxZvegDj4l1BLnHgsst0h4BVPbY4xaDV-stM4lT6VT4hagkU3NnzZdbrrGgMMm9T039mHt5muefk3JmfR05xQB5Z9Xi0ImhfbINMYw9_pKZouwBm8Dq7YVtnt8dJj2Xc6ZFNYIScMZ-ZIMJOSRA7a_XEbevz0AVWUHIqjmXCqocHEriZIZ25QEA/s520/IMG_20230925_154948_kindlephoto-17254229.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="483" data-original-width="520" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDf3XGxZvegDj4l1BLnHgsst0h4BVPbY4xaDV-stM4lT6VT4hagkU3NnzZdbrrGgMMm9T039mHt5muefk3JmfR05xQB5Z9Xi0ImhfbINMYw9_pKZouwBm8Dq7YVtnt8dJj2Xc6ZFNYIScMZ-ZIMJOSRA7a_XEbevz0AVWUHIqjmXCqocHEriZIZ25QEA/s320/IMG_20230925_154948_kindlephoto-17254229.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I thought when I got Trifecta, it would inspire me to write all about his adventures. The truth is, there haven't been many adventures. He has been a pretty easy horse to train. I'm in no hurry, so I do everything slow and for short durations--and before I know it, he is doing it well.</p><p>That is how it went with lounging. It took a bit before he fully grasped the concept--maybe a week. We would just walk around and I would move into the lounging position and encourage him to keep walking. When he did, I stopped him, petted him and told him how wonderful he was. Soon, I was lounging him at a walk with a long lead rope from both sides. He volunteered trotting one day, so we did. Each training session, I would work on it for a few minutes. At first, he would only trot a few steps, then a half a circle, then a full circle--and now he does multiple circles. </p><p>His leading had improved. For a while, he didn't want to turn to the right because then he would be stepping away from me. I worked on it a little during each lesson, and now he does it beautifully. He is going through a "I want to chew the lead rope" phase, and that can get annoying, but they all seem to grow out of that. </p><p>When I take him on the trail and go down to the river, he gets very excited and walks quite fast. That is a problem on the steep parts of the hill because he gets so much momentum that I can't keep up with him. That is something we will have to work on. Cole and Cruiser both had that problem, and we fixed it by practicing it over and over until they learned how to control their feet--or maybe they didn't feel like there was any reason to rush down if we are just going to turn around and go back up. That lesson is planned for next week.</p><p>The very hardest thing to teach him--and we are still working on it--is for him to stand as I move away from him. He wants to be with people all the time, and he doesn't want us to leave him. It isn't just me. Whoever he sees, he wants to be with. He is the worst with Kevin. He simply loves Kevin. If I am trying to lounge Tri and he sees Kevin--he tries to get to him. It's not that Kevin is giving him treats--he hasn't been at all. Tri just wants Kevin to pet him.</p><p>Trifecta loves pets. I haven't been using clicker training with him except for applying bug spray. I seem to be doing just as well with praise and pets as I would with clicks and treats. </p><p>He is growing. According to the weight tape, he has put on at least 50 pounds and he is looking more like a small horse than a baby. He does look like he might be a bit taller, but that is really hard to confirm with the weight tape. The biggest surprise is how dark his winter coat is coming in. When I got him, he was a very light chestnut--in just the last few weeks, he is so much darker--which looks really cool with his flaxen mane. </p><p>So overall, things are going well--but just like all my wonderful trail rides with Cole--they are great to experience, but they don't leave me with much to write about.</p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-56686371354063351882023-09-14T18:44:00.002-07:002023-09-14T18:44:32.986-07:00Trifecta<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqguozwKhMYXZswwgOr4U3Xe_xhY9GrFIwrLLyWdilNdg6zPiJrLmYSWHyB6KIc6Lk1X-gu5bD38Hv_MCU-bH3wCgkw6bpXPVDOXH4HANgwIjo-IP5cA4_jxICpizxYZUu9i4JOSgtT3UAmdbkm3ODRnpsmNFwbkwqsDVkKi4gBae0zT7cSA2Ui9D_Q/s1200/IMG_20230911_165802_kindlephoto-47745552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="578" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqguozwKhMYXZswwgOr4U3Xe_xhY9GrFIwrLLyWdilNdg6zPiJrLmYSWHyB6KIc6Lk1X-gu5bD38Hv_MCU-bH3wCgkw6bpXPVDOXH4HANgwIjo-IP5cA4_jxICpizxYZUu9i4JOSgtT3UAmdbkm3ODRnpsmNFwbkwqsDVkKi4gBae0zT7cSA2Ui9D_Q/s320/IMG_20230911_165802_kindlephoto-47745552.jpg" width="154" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-55250739729456835582023-08-03T19:19:00.000-07:002023-08-03T19:19:08.346-07:00We Went Down to the River...<p>We Went Down to the River</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg76-ryEXEfGwMgblTrZWyfQgO38hwbuDfMsXvDeAUS4FigocGianYu92CE6dD3LyZK3s9hEGtFQ4OI2T1TklrnQC-t_YQX-OodfUi93-0GaiH0cgh-3yTypgZELrSs8lsdGrVokzFY6thX9prmKVtqky9X76J7JFQDysxLTauJhZJ-f0syK1z56oA-kQ/s640/IMG_2571.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg76-ryEXEfGwMgblTrZWyfQgO38hwbuDfMsXvDeAUS4FigocGianYu92CE6dD3LyZK3s9hEGtFQ4OI2T1TklrnQC-t_YQX-OodfUi93-0GaiH0cgh-3yTypgZELrSs8lsdGrVokzFY6thX9prmKVtqky9X76J7JFQDysxLTauJhZJ-f0syK1z56oA-kQ/s320/IMG_2571.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>It seems that we have been rather cursed with rainy weather ever since we got Trifecta. I did take him down to the river a couple of times to visit the water, but it stayed high and muddy and it didn't seem sensible to walk down the slippery bank. Instead, we have been just walking down the hill without visiting the river. </p><p>Finally, we had a dry spell and the river became low and clear for the first time. Ellen and I decided that we would take him back down to the water. The mud on the bank wasn't even very slippery.</p><p>When we reached the edge of the river, he immediately put both of his front feet into the water. I decided to walk him along the shale island. We headed upstream to a spot where the water just barely covered the island--with a lot of the island above the water. He had no problem walking through that.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRMPwkXa8J2FZ6hPK_Z0EQiyiW4FOTiAIJDOHtivCXsCZwuEUpGuwitNjyrPApjIR8g6POSXryDmMClRPDG91PtAfCcAwCcqSAT8VeIMNgWneNF_qRz8flihbUOzzb6iN9aQ8ZpTMF3ngTH0uxwnF1oWxzlFtJSpDMnFIDqzgZELraUsDf3-BdL9vuyw/s640/IMG_2573.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="556" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRMPwkXa8J2FZ6hPK_Z0EQiyiW4FOTiAIJDOHtivCXsCZwuEUpGuwitNjyrPApjIR8g6POSXryDmMClRPDG91PtAfCcAwCcqSAT8VeIMNgWneNF_qRz8flihbUOzzb6iN9aQ8ZpTMF3ngTH0uxwnF1oWxzlFtJSpDMnFIDqzgZELraUsDf3-BdL9vuyw/s320/IMG_2573.jpg" width="278" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>We turned around and walked on the shale island downstream. This time, he was between me and the water. I tried to guide him into the water, but Ellen said he only got one hoof in. As I walked down the island, I saw that at the end of it, it went into the water and continued along for about 20 feet. The water was about 3 inches deep. We just followed along the island and kept going. He didn't hesitate, and he didn't seem the least bit afraid. My biggest worry was that he would try to roll. We did that twice and decided to call it quits.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzRbeGz3b7-dG2bmUoKgHzSebLbwmlFxvwK3QAJPoBP-clNFf1ah9hJ6XwZpMi7LBjSJVG__oicY7YYx2RNwepr6HgfABJ7eWN-fiu4YS1D2SvSMQTNIY8d8s4w6gugdGsWv6zub7_wwSBgrfNUyvh80WZHPuIIyZpmi6lWiYrJDJGnHBtYvy7E9Srw/s640/IMG_2569.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="467" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzRbeGz3b7-dG2bmUoKgHzSebLbwmlFxvwK3QAJPoBP-clNFf1ah9hJ6XwZpMi7LBjSJVG__oicY7YYx2RNwepr6HgfABJ7eWN-fiu4YS1D2SvSMQTNIY8d8s4w6gugdGsWv6zub7_wwSBgrfNUyvh80WZHPuIIyZpmi6lWiYrJDJGnHBtYvy7E9Srw/s320/IMG_2569.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I didn't want to go directly into the river quite yet.

My farrier, John Warner, was scheduled to come out about a month later, so he didn't need his feet trimmed. John does so many horses at our barn, if he wanted he could do him on a different day. Since I didn't warn him ahead of time, I didn't know what he wanted to do.</p><p>Trifecta isn't the greatest horse when it comes to cleaning his feet. When I first got him, he was reluctant to pick them up and often tried to pull them away. This wasn't a serious problem--nothing that regular foot handling couldn't fix, but we didn't really have much time to get him ready for the farrier. Ellen and I did practice with him. I would hold him, and she lifted his feet up, held them for a while and stretched his legs out. I was in charge of praising him and petting him when he got it right. He improved each day, but he wasn't reliable.</p><p>When I saw John, I told him I did a dumb thing--I bought another horse. I then explained how he wasn't that good about foot handling and he wasn't actually due for a trim. If he was too busy to get to him, he could come out another day. He asked me how old he was, and I told him that he wasn't quite 2. He said he had a rule for baby horses. I held my breath--what could the rule be? He said that if he came out, he would take the time to at least touch him. He wouldn't charge me for it because in the end, it saves him a lot of trouble in the future. I was elated, and told him we were on the same page. I really wanted to use this as a training opportunity.</p><p>As John was doing the older horses, he told us about the experiences he has had with young horses. So many don't get much handling. Just the day before, he did three 2-year-olds--and only one cooperated. The other two were rearing and fighting. I knew that Trifecta wouldn't do anything like that, but I think that John has been in too many situations where the horse's owners say everything will be fine--and it isn't.</p><p>When it was Trifecta's turn, John shut off his fan. I then led Trifecta to the work area. There was the fan, John's equipment and truck--and there was John. He walked up to Trifecta, let him sniff his hand and then started to pet him. Trifecta loves to be petted. All was going well. John lifted up the first foot, took the file to it and put it down. He went to each foot and Trifecta stood for him. He did walk off a bit once between feet--but that is the only thing he did wrong--I certainly can't complain about that.</p><p>When he was done, John started petting and admiring him. He said he was better than some of the older horses in our barn. He then asked if Trifecta ever tasted a peppermint. He has gotten plenty of treats, but no peppermints. John went into his truck and found one. When he gave it to Trifecta, he started chewing, made a face, thought about it and then decided he'd like another one.</p><p>I was so happy that John took the time to do all this with Trifecta--and so happy that Trifecta handled it like a champ! Maybe someday, he will be just as good as his Uncle Cole--who John says is the best behaved horse in our barn. He certainly made my day.</p><p><br /></p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-55242590042791241632023-07-24T09:21:00.003-07:002023-07-24T09:21:40.626-07:00 When Dante Meets Trifecta <p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I have been taking him on plenty of walkabouts on the property, we have practiced stopping, cleaning feet, turning, crossties and traffic. He has had pasture time and play time with Uncle Dante and Uncle Starry. Starry seems to be irritated by him. Dante just loves him and won't leave him alone.</p><p>Ellen and Kevin have been spending time handling him, too. That is good because I want him to be a family horse. He truly loves people.</p><p>I have continued to go out to the barn early to work with him while the jealous one, Cole, is finishing up his hay. On Day 8, we were at the end of the driveway waiting for traffic. There wasn't any at all. The day before, I did walk him out on the street to the next driveway. He didn't care for the look of the mailbox. He didn't spook at it, but he did look at it crooked and didn't want to get close to it. Once I got him to the other driveway, we turned around and went right back. He looked at the mailbox crooked from that side, too. We call it "doing a Bella." She always seems to be looking crooked at things.</p><p>I decided to try it again. This time, he marched right out and barely noticed the mailbox. I brought him back to our driveway and stood there. He seemed quiet, so I decided to up the ante. This time, we crossed the street and walked to the next driveway on that side--passing a different mailbox, crossed back to our side and went home. The whole process went perfectly. So I decided to do it again, but go to the following driveway.</p><p>We were nearly to that driveway when a car came from behind and passed us. Trifecta didn't seem to care--and that is when I made a decision. We were halfway to the trail--I would go the whole way. </p><p>We were nearly there when a car approached from the front of us. I wasn't sure, at first, but as it got closer, I knew--it was Ellen! She was very surprised to see us out there. I told her I was going down the trail to the top of the hill. It is about 100 feet. She headed to the barn.</p><p>The little guy was so excited! He walked really fast--looking all about him--but he was good. He did look crooked at the mounting block, but when I allowed him to approach it, he immediately decided it was harmless and kept going. I stopped him at the top of the hill, but I could tell that he wanted to continue down the trail. I was tempted, but I decided to stick with my plan. I would save that for Day 9.</p><p>Ellen met us on our way back, He was such a good boy.</p><p>I was out early on Day 9, once again. I got Trifecta, and we marched down the driveway. He definitely seemed to walk with more confidence. After checking to see that there was no traffic, we went right out on the street. One car passed us on our way to the trail.</p><p>Once we got to the trail, he marched right past the mounting block--not even looking that way. From there, we just flew down the hill. I couldn't believe how fast he was going. He wasn't afraid at all--he was just excited. He looked all around. I asked him to stop once, and he didn't do very well. He was just too excited to be paying any attention to me.</p><p>When we got to the bottom of the hill, I took him down to the river. Since we had recently had a very heavy rain, he had to step over a funny looking pile of debris and walk down some very slippery mud. I made him slow down for my sake--I didn't want to fall in the mud.</p><p>The river itself was a little high and a very muddy color from the rain. He thought it looked funny, but I told him to go and take a look at it. He walked over and sniffed it, then he turned away. He wanted nothing to do with the river at all. I circled him around to take another look at it. He dipped his nose in it to confirm that he really didn't want anything to do with it and stepped away. I told him to look at it one more time and then we will go home. We circled over to it, he put his head down to sniff it--and then he started drinking! </p><p>We then turned around to go back home. I was so grateful that he walked at a normal speed up the hill. I think he exhausted himself, mentally and physically, on the way down. He was a perfect gentleman.

We have been going on little walks around the stables and all around the yard. I have been breaking it up into a couple sessions a day--mostly by getting out to the barn early to walk him before Cole's ride--which has worked out great since Thunder, my cat, has been taking his morning nap early. Then, when I get back with Cole, we go on another walk. Small sessions with young horses work really well because they have a short attention span.</p><p>He has been leading very well for such a little guy. He usually walks right next to me, and he willingly will do corners and small circles in both directions. Just as with all my horses, I am teaching him to turn to the right by pointing that way with my left hand. He is catching on to that quite quickly.</p><p>He hasn't properly spooked, either. He did flinch when we tested him with a horn, but so did I. We have spent time at the end of the driveway watching traffic, and none of it bothers him--not even the UPS truck. It won't be long before I will feel comfortable leading him on the short stretch of road to the bridle path.</p><p>Today was his fifth day, so I decided to actually start some training. It was time to work on "whoa." We had done a little of it the day before, but it always ended up with me pulling him to a stop. </p><p>Here was my plan. I would say the word and a moment later stop walking. If he didn't stop, he would get to the end of the rope and it would pull his nose. The word would be his signal that something is going to happen--a warning. My goal was to keep him from getting to the end of the rope.</p><p>The first few times, he did get to the end of the rope and it pulled his nose. After that, the pull got very lighter and lighter and in just a few minutes, he was stopping when my feet stopped. When he did, I rubbed his neck and praised him. He really likes that. That was all he needed. After that, Trifecta consistently stopped the moment my feet stopped. What an awesome little horse! </p><p>Later, when I showed Ellen, he reverted to waiting until he felt the halter, but after doing it once, he was back to stopping when I did.</p><p>This will be something we will practice a lot--since it is so important. I am sure that in time, he will stop as soon as he hears the word.</p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-65848328144689843922023-07-15T19:47:00.001-07:002023-07-15T19:47:22.247-07:00Day 1<p>Day 1</p><p>I couldn't believe it! Trifecta was on his way! It was real! I really bought another horse!</p><p>He was projected to arrive late morning, so that meant that Ellen and I would have time for our morning ride. That worked out well, because riding would help pass the time while we waited. Due the the humid conditions, Cole and Dante walked so slowly...Once we started trotting, they were their normal selves, but when we turned around to go home, they were in no hurry. I was. Trifecta was on his way!</p><p>We got back, I untacked Cole and put Bella outside while I prepared her medicine. Shari called me in the morning to ask me to do it as she wasn't able to come out and ride with us. She was so bummed out when she found out she wouldn't be there when Trifecta arrived.</p><p>I had just turned Bella loose when Ellen yelled, "They're here! They're here!" I ran to the driveway, and Ellen, Kevin and I just stood there in disbelief. This was it. A wonderful woman named Jessica trailered him over. She said he trailered very well. She went in and brought him out. He was more adorable than I remembered. This was Ellen's first time seeing him, and she was dazzled by him. Kevin greeted him like an old friend. I was still in shock.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMlBOU57sLK-gajU5DuLsI33B_rC_4UNLwl7vht_L5PouY7GkQ2_KcXGC_hXeEBofQdCKrJzRNBIn_swgw4M7GT94AK_suKZLRq8r3DPjoRVKeEFV4z9Te_wmXfPHJuikebNnXgqNTykoSl1cyEzKtcprsHh_X8k9lG6IEEt_QygUchVxOb1qSx6onKQ/s1034/IMG_20230714_104659.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="948" data-original-width="1034" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMlBOU57sLK-gajU5DuLsI33B_rC_4UNLwl7vht_L5PouY7GkQ2_KcXGC_hXeEBofQdCKrJzRNBIn_swgw4M7GT94AK_suKZLRq8r3DPjoRVKeEFV4z9Te_wmXfPHJuikebNnXgqNTykoSl1cyEzKtcprsHh_X8k9lG6IEEt_QygUchVxOb1qSx6onKQ/s320/IMG_20230714_104659.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>After pictures, we took him into his stall to give him a chance to unwind. He circled it about a few times, and then started settling down. This horse is quite chill. We talked with Jessica quite a while and then he had to make the 3-hour journey home. Ellen had to go to work, too. I just wanted to hang out.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7DEgyg_Br0BtGj04kg-cHP5f-VljZX8psPY7R9meLjDJF0dAH73A9Wol6xmF7TXTK9WKdAI6N9tKZ3e-vxTEtsz5tk2gp5jC-w4Hq5s1qeK2ayHpszsLrVLPWzN0VFbZNouQx-u1lQ5aBDiCo-TPofG0LdvLVDOfkXS958RVlKcyyS74ucJ2VxX4ODg/s1011/IMG_20230714_104825.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="1011" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7DEgyg_Br0BtGj04kg-cHP5f-VljZX8psPY7R9meLjDJF0dAH73A9Wol6xmF7TXTK9WKdAI6N9tKZ3e-vxTEtsz5tk2gp5jC-w4Hq5s1qeK2ayHpszsLrVLPWzN0VFbZNouQx-u1lQ5aBDiCo-TPofG0LdvLVDOfkXS958RVlKcyyS74ucJ2VxX4ODg/s320/IMG_20230714_104825.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFMH67AFuyDOxXOnim53Y_OP_Dnu3cvtnHnh6iq5b6dxgQnA6bVq5nejQ_TKUkK2o9Xu1ITimRKC-uW2aLaKyWANy3cVQvc70J_bAxdqUSgV7w_SHdfAYUXyxqCdVWK9Zvyjkjy0uUf7ojd1F34rAkvNDHTGKkmtUhvUFg29o9-fiewJY_shz_9DFQoA/s499/IMG_2495%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="321" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFMH67AFuyDOxXOnim53Y_OP_Dnu3cvtnHnh6iq5b6dxgQnA6bVq5nejQ_TKUkK2o9Xu1ITimRKC-uW2aLaKyWANy3cVQvc70J_bAxdqUSgV7w_SHdfAYUXyxqCdVWK9Zvyjkjy0uUf7ojd1F34rAkvNDHTGKkmtUhvUFg29o9-fiewJY_shz_9DFQoA/s320/IMG_2495%20(1).jpg" width="206" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeuwCa8FvN3SpdElL3XJ04akNgWqaUyvWQHPkroOKw_FHS0LhbN9RmQeAKYx9yLCWxZgSQS5fWHMx3-6o3Srfwukw2cvMJupknuivjJtmbBvq1Q1NYzZ_Nyxba9lHJTOAJFSEjiU-9ALn3Sj6ECgman2E-e4e7yEBSNFhF_tq502pvkgQau6-GWujOUg/s463/IMG_2499.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="463" data-original-width="341" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeuwCa8FvN3SpdElL3XJ04akNgWqaUyvWQHPkroOKw_FHS0LhbN9RmQeAKYx9yLCWxZgSQS5fWHMx3-6o3Srfwukw2cvMJupknuivjJtmbBvq1Q1NYzZ_Nyxba9lHJTOAJFSEjiU-9ALn3Sj6ECgman2E-e4e7yEBSNFhF_tq502pvkgQau6-GWujOUg/s320/IMG_2499.jpg" width="236" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>After a while, I let him outside to see if he would like to roll in the sand, and I wanted to get some more pictures.

Everyone wanted to see him, and he welcomed all the pets and attention. I made sure I spent some time with Cole--who is a mama's boy--and he doesn't like me to be far from him. Everyone is worried that he may have trouble coping. Ellen thinks we will need couple's counseling. She has offered to co-parent, and I am suspicious that she plans to take custody...Surprisingly, Cole didn't call out to me that often. I just keep telling him that he is Number One, and Trifecta is Number Three.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfuxKphq71VREmL1Pzs1pIOfZQULodFgGh9_DZgywE_lSgErv3Zx5sKgZ2sHbd3N7ITuQPDL_Kx-YWWIEkvAbuNnZI-MD4ztz4TbC1ZzkD6gqkIwn0w6Gcm77HDW7J2nE5uYl6wARQsTkDXjwYoER7GWmTO2l00qojgTdGOsWJgdr3FirwqhDiFWq3w/s1142/IMG_20230714_112413_kindlephoto-54203760.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="1142" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfuxKphq71VREmL1Pzs1pIOfZQULodFgGh9_DZgywE_lSgErv3Zx5sKgZ2sHbd3N7ITuQPDL_Kx-YWWIEkvAbuNnZI-MD4ztz4TbC1ZzkD6gqkIwn0w6Gcm77HDW7J2nE5uYl6wARQsTkDXjwYoER7GWmTO2l00qojgTdGOsWJgdr3FirwqhDiFWq3w/s320/IMG_20230714_112413_kindlephoto-54203760.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Soon, I realized I'd better get home and check on my elderly pets. Maggie needed her walk, and Thunder needed me to tell him I love him at least 47 times.<p></p><p>Later, Kevin took me out to dinner to celebrate the great occasion--and then we went back to the barn to check on Trifecta. When I walked in, he was laying down; sleeping. He jumped up when he saw me. I brought my weight tape from home to get a starting weight on him. I guessed 600 pounds--he came in at 609 pounds. I don't like tapes to measure height, because I always feel that it is hard to be accurate, but I tried anyway. He measured 14.0 hands.</p><p>We took him out to let him play, and Kevin took a bunch of pictures. Then we led him around. He leads as well as any of our horses, and he didn't spook at a thing. He seemed slightly nervous and mostly curious about his new surroundings. Most of all, he just seemed to be happy to be with people.</p><p>Trifecta is going to be a joy.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><br />Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-57799042433091239962023-07-06T13:58:00.001-07:002023-07-06T14:07:53.955-07:00 Buying a Baby<p>Buying a Baby</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDTX5mcCtxstZHJC6IBI0vNppOVnhhdQZEztcb-myjnT5vp7EZLwsb42sEqunmbyrshIwuWuhH4obO6RyeL4PVWb9domEOnurgBzuogZn6AfzWRmNtS-Z7hFvN8b71TaOKuiRMvipof2zpoXP5PWYH-xeD3F2ns4apc6v7U8g-qyrLmPq6K6VWM0Gb2A/s1539/IMG_20230628_143257.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1539" data-original-width="1050" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDTX5mcCtxstZHJC6IBI0vNppOVnhhdQZEztcb-myjnT5vp7EZLwsb42sEqunmbyrshIwuWuhH4obO6RyeL4PVWb9domEOnurgBzuogZn6AfzWRmNtS-Z7hFvN8b71TaOKuiRMvipof2zpoXP5PWYH-xeD3F2ns4apc6v7U8g-qyrLmPq6K6VWM0Gb2A/s320/IMG_20230628_143257.jpg" width="218" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I have planned to buy a baby horse for quite some time, now. I was only waiting for Cole to get older. The last thing I want to do is replace Cole, but at the age of 17, there may come a time when I can't ride him as often as I like to. Besides, I like training young horses. It has been a long time since I have had a new horse to train, and I missed it.</p><p>I have been casually looking for many months. I have simply loved my Morabs, Cole and Cruiser, but it seems like very few people are breeding them anymore. The obvious choice if I couldn't get another Morab was to find a Morgan. If I could just get one as wonderful as Dante...</p><p>Dante is a special Morgan. He is a Lambert. Because of him, I am a member of the Lambert Morgan Facebook Group, and that is where I found a potential horse in Pennsylvania--just 3 hours away. His father is a Lambert Morgan, and his mother is a traditional-looking Morgan. Technically, he is a half Lambert, but he looks totally like his father. </p><p>I contacted his breeder, and we made arrangements for a visit. Kevin and I are rather old fashioned, and we still use flip phones. Since the advent of the smart phone, it has gotten very hard to find decent maps. I am a terrific map reader--but I still have to have a map to do it. We had Ohio maps galore. Kevin searched and searched and found a Pennsylvania map. It wasn't very detailed, but it was better than nothing. At home, on my computer, I got a route from Google Maps. I wrote it down verbatim and sketched the map out on paper. We were all set.</p><p>The morning we were planning to leave, I looked outside and saw my yard looked very hazy--it was from wildfire smoke from Canada. Not only could I see it, I could smell it, too. It was just terrible. It reminded me of the crummy November weather we had when I drove out to see Cruiser for the first time. Also, the day I went to see Cole, was in the spring and it was extremely windy--just about constant gusts. Could this be a good sign? </p><p>When Kevin pulled into my driveway, he hopped out of the car and was frantically digging around in the back seat. He couldn't find the Pennsylvania map. He was sure that he brought it along, but it was nowhere to be found. What were we going to do? We had the instructions, but no map. Well, what could we do? I was sure we couldn't get a map in any store--we just headed out on our journey.</p><p>All went well until we were on the Warren, Ohio bypass--and it just ended--I mean ended. Nowhere in my instructions told us what to do next. I did have a very good street map of the area, and it showed that it was true--it just ended. That is not what Google Maps said. (I have since double checked, and Google Maps still doesn't show it ending.) We were supposed to pick up another route that I was sure that wouldn't happen until we were in Pennsylvania--we were still in Ohio. </p><p>Since the map we had for Ohio showed all the roads, I plotted out a path to go along the Ohio border until we got to the route we were looking for on the other side of Warren. As long as we stayed in Ohio, we wouldn't be lost. The problem was that some of the streets didn't have street signs. We did have to stop and talk to a fella for directions. We couldn't have done it without him. I held my breath as we traveled along the state line. Kevin was driving--following my every instruction--and my some miracle, we made it. We were back on our way!!! Well, we did stop numerous times at countless stores to see if they sold maps. No one sells maps anymore...</p><p>I could see we weren't going to be on time, so I called the horse's breeder, Lauren, and warned her. It actually worked out better for her, so I was happy about that. As we traveled along, the whole world was covered with smoke from the wildfires. When we got very close, Kevin took a wrong turn, but I thought with a little help it would work out. I called Lauren again, and she guided us. She was heading in that direction, too, and she said she would meet us and bring us there herself.</p><p>Lauren is a lovely young woman who brought her little infant with her. She carried her in some sort of sling, and the little girl was sleeping the whole time. The horse was at her father's farm. What a gorgeous farm! I wish it was a sunny day instead of a smokey day so I could see it at it's best. Enough of that, you are thinking, tell me about the horse.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXN-8Q5nBl6C49RE7JX3SYj1GDbzGDVlV4D5C9FW4_6AjlhOLhTARyFTUSTN8H58sKrTXd36YfgAXUKKeG_tLTqix6kT_0pL9xxXYEeflhmzawxSzpJHAAIMFjHtGdLiuUNVxzNwNWfj3KKg2gd75rgv2oQ6OFZEtUyGxsWOKuYcvmmTZNTtBI8BJuFA/s1200/IMG_20230628_145552_1_kindlephoto-89658302.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="944" data-original-width="1200" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXN-8Q5nBl6C49RE7JX3SYj1GDbzGDVlV4D5C9FW4_6AjlhOLhTARyFTUSTN8H58sKrTXd36YfgAXUKKeG_tLTqix6kT_0pL9xxXYEeflhmzawxSzpJHAAIMFjHtGdLiuUNVxzNwNWfj3KKg2gd75rgv2oQ6OFZEtUyGxsWOKuYcvmmTZNTtBI8BJuFA/s320/IMG_20230628_145552_1_kindlephoto-89658302.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Lauren went into the pasture to get him, and he left the other horses and came right over to us. There was no doubt in my mind--this horse likes people. I couldn't believe how small and immature he looked. He really did still look like a baby. I don't remember Mingo, who I had from birth, looking so immature at this age--not quite two. He will be two in August. (Ellen said I should go back and look at his pictures.) His legs are long, his rump is high and he gives the overall impression of immaturity. </p><p>I had Kevin walk him around for me, and that is when I saw a beautiful sight. In spite of his youth, he walked along with Kevin as if he knew him his whole life. He was so relaxed. He didn't fidget, play with the lead rope, dawdle, rush, dance or anything. He paid attention to Kevin and just walked along. He was irritated about the bugs that were attacking him, but he still kept following Kevin around. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEhU9RVyB_i4P-8ftUSLxNt-MpnOBhUVFJcRpSJujcUymSwuvlJ4hIzmdnyneVnA8A91sK5qkv2XoxcnGX8s25hysaOUDtXxi18K40ojUSF09uMd7pXjxviGLDonZx8wZkIBhFFnTZKYFKKxC2eUy9wKp8siWtL3I0GaQS6Yk0PyEog2nmOjnkZo5z8w/s1600/IMG_20230628_140534.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEhU9RVyB_i4P-8ftUSLxNt-MpnOBhUVFJcRpSJujcUymSwuvlJ4hIzmdnyneVnA8A91sK5qkv2XoxcnGX8s25hysaOUDtXxi18K40ojUSF09uMd7pXjxviGLDonZx8wZkIBhFFnTZKYFKKxC2eUy9wKp8siWtL3I0GaQS6Yk0PyEog2nmOjnkZo5z8w/s320/IMG_20230628_140534.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Kevin held him while I looked closely at him. He really seemed to like Kevin. Kevin really seemed to like him. Kevin gave him some treats, which he took gingerly from his hands. He wasn't obnoxious about it--he wasn't obnoxious about anything! He was as mannerly as Cole without all the bowing or the "silly walk." </p><p>At one point, he lowered his head and gently leaned his forehead on my knees as I pet his neck. I asked Lauren if she trained him to do that, so that I would buy him. She denied it. He certainly was being endearing. </p><p>He really seemed a little smaller than I liked. Both of his parents are 14.2 hands, and I expect he will be, too. That is how tall Cole is, so I could certainly live with it. I kinda wanted a horse-sized horse, but I could see that his temperament is golden--and that is why I bought him. (Kevin said if I didn't, he would have bought him. He fell in love.)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ8yPcyMWWYltr8bSr3XmfXXSVnmJzUxoQppNve5T6-t3ciHBbXZxPPeOz113uIHedpUXrZv07QdJUqk9Yv23ao4APA0KB2-yZHMSRTWDqLxYPP_YvoQUAIFCwImydeh5ApMTlHd8lB0wzCXgLRZsTZ-uSv1LwK_eBlqtUE4_iJ_5mI27sA2vylvLQiQ/s1038/IMG_20230628_143226.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1038" data-original-width="487" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ8yPcyMWWYltr8bSr3XmfXXSVnmJzUxoQppNve5T6-t3ciHBbXZxPPeOz113uIHedpUXrZv07QdJUqk9Yv23ao4APA0KB2-yZHMSRTWDqLxYPP_YvoQUAIFCwImydeh5ApMTlHd8lB0wzCXgLRZsTZ-uSv1LwK_eBlqtUE4_iJ_5mI27sA2vylvLQiQ/s320/IMG_20230628_143226.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>All of his behavior, in my opinion, showed that he really likes people and wanted to be with us. It didn't matter that all the other horses were out in the pasture. He was happy to be with people. Guess what happened when we put him back in the pasture? He stayed by us, in the mud, instead of going back right away to his friends on the grass. </p><p>His name is Trifecta, and I am going to keep it that way. Lauren explained that the day he was born, she delivered twins, herself. If we count Cole, who is 75% Morgan, he will be the third Morgan in our herd, so we will have a trifecta of Morgans.</p><p>They gave us good directions to get home. The first thing I had to do was call Ellen. She was working that day, so she couldn't join us. In trying to describe his personality, I realized who else I was describing--Fall, Kevin's cat that recently passed away. I told Ellen he was like Fall. Kevin wholeheartedly agreed with me. I found a horse like Fall. Fall was a cat who just wanted to be with people, was always gentle and loving--and was just a real doll.</p><p>I don't think he is going to be a fast horse, but he will be a good one. I predict that he will be the horse anyone can ride. I have Cole, so I don't need another fast horse, but you can never have too many good horses.</p><p>I know there will be bumps in the road, but we have plenty of time--we will work through those bumps. I feel he will end up being a terrific horse that we will all love. </p><p>He hasn't been delivered, yet. That is when the adventures will begin...</p><p>By the way, when Kevin was cleaning out his car the next day, he found the missing map. It was in the door of the car on the passenger's side. We don't know how it got there, but as it was, it wasn't detailed enough to get us through out crisis.</p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-59328253079203049962023-06-28T20:26:00.001-07:002023-06-28T20:26:24.347-07:00Our New Baby!<p> I have my own Lambert Morgan--cousin of Dante.

Shari was on vacation, so we took our "Replacement Cherie" with us on a trail ride. She rides a small pinto named Warrior who looks a lot like a Thelwell pony. He seems to be misnamed, because he's more like a pussy cat than a warrior. Compared to the other Shari's Bella, going on a ride with him is just a slow amble through the park. Dante likes to be with him.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We went on a longer ride than Cherie is used to which involved crossing the second river. Warrior was awesome. On the way home, Warrior picked up the speed, and he reached the river with Cole--quite ahead of Starry and Dante. We decided to go ahead and cross. Since Cherie isn't too familiar with this river crossing, she wanted to follow Cole. Usually, we cross one at a time in case one horse falls--then they all won't go down. (Been there--done that.) Cole never likes horses splashing him, and since we no longer practice it, I didn't know how he would be with Warrior behind him. I figured I would just keep him ahead far enough to avoid being splashed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, for a pony, Warrior can really splash! At one point, he stumbled a little, but he quickly regained his footing and continued to splash across. He splashed the equivalent of at least 3 horses. Cole felt a little nervous, but I just kept him moving. Towards the end of the crossing, he was walking pretty fast, so I braced myself. As soon as he hit the shore, he burst--and cantered up the bank. I was ready for it, so it wasn't a big deal at all. In fact, I laughed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">By now, Kevin and Ellen caught up and started to cross while we waited for them. Ellen got across first, and she noticed that Warrior had lost one of his hoof boots. Cherie had just bought a new pair, so I really wanted to find it. Those things are rather expensive. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We told Kevin as he finished crossing, and he said he saw something that looked like a hoof boot in the river. I told Cherie that I would get it for her. He took Starry back into the water and showed me where it was. It was right where Warrior had stumbled. I brought Cole over to it, and Kevin hurried Starry out. He didn't want Starry close to us as I landed in the water. The river was about a foot and a half deep in that spot. I had done this before when Starry lost one of his fetlock boots in the river--it wasn't as deep that time, but Cole didn't seem to mind me dismounting in the water, so I figured he would be fine this time, too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was right. I slid down into the water, grabbed the boot and led Cole to the other side of the river--which was closer to us. At one point, the water was about 2 feet deep, and I got pretty wet. I didn't mind since I was wearing old jeans and old boots. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I led Cole up the river bank, mounted and headed back down the bank. Cole took off trotting! My reins weren't long enough and I had one hand holding the boot, so I couldn't stop him. It was a long, steep bank, so I have to admit it was pretty scary. By the time we got to the bottom, I had him walking and we made it back across the river without any trouble. Ellen thinks he was startled by my wet legs--which makes total sense.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I gave the boot to Cherie, and she got off to put it back on Warrior. Now, we had another problem. Cherie doesn't mount from the ground. We walked down the trail looking for an appropriate log to use as a mounting block, but she was so concerned about poison ivy--which our woods is filled with and she is extremely allergic to it. Finally, she decided that she would just mount from the ground. I suggested that I get off and hold her opposite stirrup so that the saddle doesn't slip. I often do that for Ellen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We set up the horses, but she was still having trouble. A couple of hikers happened to come by and offered to help. They both shoved Cherie up while I held the stirrup--and hurray! She was in the saddle!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think that is when she told me that it was one of her old boots, because the new ones were rubbing Warrior a little. All that for an old boot? I teased her and said I wouldn't have gotten it if I knew it was an old boot. (It was just teasing-I would have retrieved it for her anyway.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I mounted back up for the third time that day--glad that I worked so hard to keep my mounting ability when I was side-lined after breaking my wrist. We all just walked down the trail and relaxed--for about 2 minutes--when Ellen noticed that Starry lost a shoe! (Ellen has the best eyes--she notices everything.) We looked around and found it right away--and it meant that I had to get off and get it--since no one else can mount from the ground. I sighed--my fourth mount of the day. I had a jacket, so I was able to put the shoe in my pocket.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A short while later, we crossed the river to go home, and Kevin got off to lead Starry the rest of the way. My legs were much drier by then, so I didn't change into the dry clothes I had in the car, but I did change into some dry shoes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Everything went well. Cherie had her boot, the farrier was able to come out the next day to put Starry's shoe back on and I got some delicious home made chocolate chip cookies from Cherie.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p></blockquote><p><br /></p>Judihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com0
