On one of the hotest days of the year, we hooked up a sprinkler and put it in the middle of the corral. “Hondo” decided that this was a whole lot of fun.
First it was the face
Then it was the whole body!
Hondo ended up a little muddy, but a lot cooler!
No fences to mend.. No horses to shoe..
Dalton got to do today what he loves to do…
Start the babies…..
The Tennessee Walker Babies especially!!
Double Dip, a Tennesse Walking Horse is only 2 years old ,but it is time for her to be introduced to a saddle. No one will ride her until she is 4 years old. With her owner, Monica holding her, Dalton introduced her to the saddle blanket. No Big Deal .
Then she was introduced to the saddle.
Now the introduction to the cinch around the belly…..this is where it can get very interesting…..
No Buck..No Jump..No Spins..No Kicks….This girl is a pro.
A little parade around the corral and the lesson was over.
