She's a 15 year old paint mare and has done everything. So I hope she teaches me 'the ropes' like your Woofer did for you.<BR/><BR/>Your Blog is a fun read.

What a shame that you lost last year's baby.

We have my daughter's first horse (hubby's retired roping horse) here and he will 26 in April. He earned his spot here and now just lives the life of luxury! Me and mare have a special bond like that-I agree you blend (or have that extra speical bond!) with certain horses! She is just awesome and I have done tons of things on her and my daughter started riding her this year. My current goal is to ride her bridleless and bareback! About Okie-Pesky (our retired horse) when I first started roping I would use him and it just got to be too much for him. He would be stoved up for days after. Boy it is a same, because he is awesome at heading! But I have started heading off my mare and she rocks as well, but still not him! He is starting to show his age and I dreed the day he goes on. Thanks for sharing your beauties with us and look forward to seeing the foal.kdwhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927961715923751666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-6213283032981583562008-02-29T11:36:00.000-07:002008-02-29T11:36:00.000-07:00Thanks Holly.

So she is living the life of luxury in the pasture.<BR/>As far as her sensativity when Megan tried to show her, well, Megan was only 10 and Okie was too advanced for her. With Okie you really only had to think about what you wanted her to do-ie-pick up the left lead, stop and so on. I swear that mare was telepathic. She really made you focus. I never had any problems with her but Meg just worried about it too much and Okie worried too. For some reason they did really well in english but western got a little off. Megan moved to another horse and has never had the same problem. Just not a good click with the mare.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-37811020714735757932008-02-29T09:24:00.000-07:002008-02-29T09:24:00.000-07:00is the only riding problem with the mare in yester...is the only riding problem with the mare in yesterdays post that she is too light and sensitive? My suggestion would be to learn to use a marker word and desensitize her to legs/hands a bit. When I proof stays for dogs one of the things I do is evoke an oppositional reflex by gradually pulling on the lead, working up to a fair amount of pressure and asking the dog to resist moving. I'd use the same principle with the mare and her sensitivity. <BR/><BR/>if you want to explore that further but don't want to work on that here.....email me.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-35954170522079502202008-02-29T08:14:00.000-07:002008-02-29T08:14:00.000-07:00awwwww, she's wonderful.
