I'm giving lots of lessons, but also have two horses in training.
The first horse is Sam, who you may remember from 2002-2004. I skipped my senior prom to drive to Nebraska to buy him. He was a skittish, skinny, scary-looking two-year-old who I bought for the 4-H futurity. We did really well at shows, and I sold him in 2004. He is now a really cute, quiet, stout, loving eight-year-old. I'm going to tune him up and sell him for his owner. He hasn't done much in the last four years, but remembers a lot! He's so much fun! I really hope I find a good home for him. So, if you know of anyone looking... ;)
Here's a photo of Sam from the 2003 KS State Fair:
The other horse I have in training is a four-year-old Missouri Fox Trotter with CURLY hair! He has the curly hair gene! He's sorrel, and his coat is even more curly than my hair! He doesn't have much of a mane or tail, though. He's owned by a lady who adopted him from a horse rescue. Right now, we're working on the basics, like saddling, moving forward when you pull on the lead rope, and not being scared of the world. He also had his first bath last weekend. It was a huge success! And now he doesn't stink! Yay! Note: it is a lot easier to give a horse its first bath when you have access to warm water!
Here is a pic of Cody holding Phoneix after his bath, and another pic with the saddle on! I'll have to take more pics of him with a real camera so you can see his curly hair!
